Burma / Myanmar: A white elephant at the palace in Amarapura c. 1855.

In Burma white elephants have been revered symbols of power and good fortune for centuries. Amarapura was founded by King Bodawpaya of the Konbaung Dynasty as his new capital in May 1783. The new capital became a center of Buddhist reforms and learning. In 1800, Buddhist clergy from Sri Lanka obtained higher ordination in this city and founded the Amarapura Nikaya (Amarapura sect). Bodawpaya's grandson, King Bagyidaw moved the Court back to Ava in November 1821. Bagyidaw's successor King Tharrawaddy again moved the royal capital back to Amarapura in February 1842.
