A striking amalgamation of the remover of obstacles Sri Ganesha sitting atop the primordial serpent Adi Shesha after quelling its pride and one of the most popular Hindu motifs- Kirtimukha (face of glory), this brass wall hanging holds an enormously powerful message, along with the benevolent eye of Sri Ganesha. Kiritimukha was originally a demon born from Shiva’s wrath that, troubled by his insatiable hunger and directed by Shiva, began devouring himself until all he had for a body was his face or Mukha as presented in this brass Kirtimukha with Ganesha wall hanging.
Moved by his glorious devotion, Lord Shiva gave him the name- Kirtimukha (Kirti-glory, Mukha- face) and established him at the entrance of all the holy shrines as a protector of the deity and a reminder of the virtue of self-surrender. In the ancient Hindu temples, the presence of the Kirtimukha on the top of the entrance is a tradition and without the Kirtimukha, it is believed that no temple structure is complete.
