I also don't think this is meant for taro - the leaf is too different and there's no sign of the large, round, edible root. The varieties with larger leaves come closer. Even though these plants would fit well into the way I see things, they're not convincing.
The elephant dress is interesting though. Do you mean things they would put over the elephant's head and trunk, kind of like this? (Animals must think we are such silly creatures sometimes).

That is something to keep in mind. I wouldn't rule out it representing the elephant itself yet though.
Diane, what do you make of the blue roots? A reference to a watery environment where the plant grows? Or a source of blue dye?
