Experts and religious scriptures from both Vastu and Hinduism agree on one thing: having idols and pictures of Lord Ganesha in your home is a potent divine symbol that attracts plenty and attention to life. For your place of worship or office, this wooden wall hanging and figure of Gajanana is a traditional depiction of the Chaturbhuja Lord.
With his characteristic ornaments aglow, the elephant-faced Lord sits on a Padmasana, or lotus throne, bearing the Paasha (noose), Ankusha (goad), Modak (sweet), and Danta (broken tusk). The tiny Mushaka, who sits at Ganesha's feet and respectfully bows down to the Lord, enhances the image's heavenly beauty.
How to care for Wood Statues?
Wood is extensively used in sculpting especially in countries like China, Germany, and Japan. One feature that makes the wood extremely suitable for making statues and sculptures is that it is light and can take very fine detail. It is easier for artists to work with wood than with other materials such as metal or stone. Both hardwoods, as well as softwood, are used for making sculptures. Wood is mainly used for indoor sculptures because it is not as durable as stone. Changes in weather cause wooden sculptures to split or be attacked by insects or fungus. The principal woods for making sculptures and statues are cedar, pine, walnut, oak, and mahogany. The most common technique that sculptors use to make sculptures out of wood is carving with a chisel and a mallet. Since wooden statues are prone to damage, fire, and rot, they require proper care and maintenance.
It is extremely important to preserve and protect wooden sculptures with proper care. A little carelessness and negligence can lead to their decay, resulting in losing all their beauty and strength. Therefore, a regular clean-up of the sculptures is a must to prolong their age and to maintain their shine and luster.
