When Goddess Parvati breathed life in a sculpture of a child she made with her own hands, Lord Ganesh was born. As a baby boy, he was loved by all the Ganas (Shiva’s attendants) and residents of Mt. Kailash. From devouring delicacies made by his mother to his acts of childish naughtiness, Bala Ganesh or baby Ganesh’s stories are delightful and inspiring in equal measures.
This icon of baby Ganesh with modak in brass is a reminder that the all-powerful Vighanahrta was once a precious little kid. He appears to be crawling, with his right hand supporting his body weight while in his left hand he appears to be holding a sweet, probably his favorite, Modak. Wearing a short dhoti, the beady-eyed and round-bellied baby Ganesh looks the embodiment of innocence. The silver inlay on brass has made this simplistic representation quite appealing.
