When I was in this temple, I certainly didn't see this painting, although the temple is huge - I mean huge! - so that is understandable.

Symbolically the elephant is used to represent Buddhism, and i suppose the bull is Hindu, although the usual depiction from the more fundamental Hindu is the lion subduing the elephant. This is probably a more philosophical understanding of the situation which occurred so long ago now.
