The Little India Fountain (GPS: 3.13006, 101.68417) is a fountain in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur. It is located at the junction of Jalan Tun Sambanthan and Jalan Rakyat, in the New Little India of Kuala Lumpur. The 35-foot-tall fountain marks a central point of New Little India, which runs from Jalan Travers in the north to Jalan Tun Sambanthan in the south. The fountain is in the form of Airavata (Sanskrit: ऐरावात; Thai: Erawan เอราวัณ), the mythological transport or vahana (Sanskrit: वाहन) for the Hindu deity Indra. The central column is a two-tier cascading fountain which empties into a pool with bathing elephants, their trunks uplifted.
