Lord Ganesha, the son of Lord Shiva and Devi Parvati is one of the most revered deities in Hinduism. He is generally illustrated as a pot-bellied god with the head of an elephant.
As per the legend, his head was severed by Shiva, who later replaced it with the head of an elephant. In the scriptures, Lord Ganesha is depicted as a very learned god and the greatest of all thinkers.
He is a very ancient deity whose references are also found in the most ancient texts, Rig Veda. Lord Ganesha is worshipped at the start of every auspicious function because he is known to be the 'Vighnaharta' of his devotees. Vighnaharta means the one who takes away the problems.
This beautiful bronze statue captures lord Ganesha in his full glory and enchanting elegance. This statue is delicately hand-made using the ancient Madhuchista Vidhana technique (lost wax) by the exemplary craftsmen of Swamimalai. The lord is sitting in his usual posture with his vehicle, the Mushaka (mouse) sitting on his left side.
The four-armed lord is holding a Modak (a food he loves) and weapons in his hands. He is wearing a traditional Dhoti and exquisite pieces of jewelry throughout his body. The face of the lord is delicately crafted and the trunk is having a beautiful formation. The crown too is showing all signs of royalty.
Lord Ganesha is the epitome of grace and knowledge. This statue illustrates the deity in his most simple, yet elegant form. The aura of silence and stillness around this statue is beyond the hold of mere words.
