Mars with Rahu forms Angarak yoga, the accident yoga, and with the Moon added it also troubles the mind; a painting of an elephant with raised trunk bathing in water in the South-West or South protects against it.

When Rahu is exalted or swagrahi, a solid elephant statue or painting with its trunk raised in the South-West brings stability, success and dominance.

South
The elephant represents Rahu, whose zones run from South to South-West (SSW, SW, WSW). In south-facing or nairitya-facing houses with the entry there, two brass elephants with raised trunks pacify the door dosh.

The elephant is the vehicle of Indra, lord of the East. Between the East and the North-East lies a 45-degree span with several pads, among them a debt door and a door that makes one rich, and every 11.25 degrees the chemistry and circumstances change, so the exact pad matters.
Elephant figures should stand on something solid, not hang in the air. The temple can stay, but a temple with elephants is better placed in the West.
