The auspiciousness of three realms bundled up in one, Ganesha in his Chaturbhuja Roopa is a vision of divinity and beauty in Swamimalai bronzes, which present his plump body and elephant head with exquisite iconography.
A true representation of the Chola period bronzes, this statue presents Ganesha seated in a graceful Lalitasana pose on an inverted lotus seat that symbolizes inner wisdom, the blooming of which begins with Ganesha’s blessings.
Ornate jewelry, Tripunda, Yajnopavita, and a short dhoti adorn Ganapati, whose deeply etched animated eyes make the metal art appear alive.
In his gracefully curving trunk, Ganesha carries the wood apple or Kapitha, a favorite fruit of the deity, also a symbol of Sri or wealth and fortune.
