History

Purski is a Hindu elephantine god with a mystical third eye on the center of his forehead. He is the Nepali counterpart for Airavata, the magical flying white elephant that serves as the steed for the god Indra. He is said to cause rain to fall after droughts.

He's said to be Ganesha's attendant. He may also be an avatar of Vishnu, and is thought of as the god of Daisho Kangi-ten with Ganesha. Although his looks suggest Ganesha`s influence, he is thought to have originally been a local god of Tibet. His name is misromanization of "Pulukishi".
