Ganesha is the benevolent and ever-pervasive deity in Hinduism, who is worshipped in the primary place even before the commencement of any ritual or ceremony.
It is also believed that by worshipping Ganesha wholeheartedly, the Shiva devotees can reach the supreme Lord’s holy feet, avoiding his Rudra aspect.
This superfine carving of this Ganesha brass sculpture depicts all the divine qualities of love, peace and protection guiding us towards the perfection and creativity in sculptor’s hands.
Ganesha sits in his popular posture on a thin pedestal, carved in three layers in a temple-like pattern. The unusual shape and précised etchings on each layer of the pedestal are an attraction to the viewers.
The seating posture of Lord Ganesha, makes his belly protrude more towards the front, hence making the waist belt squeeze beneath his navel and in-between the legs. The astonishing part is the meticulous chisels of the blooming lotus flower going upwards towards his knee on an already self-textured dhoti, with the pattern also visible in the centre on his waist belt.
Mooshika (sacred vahana of Ganesha) in reverence near his left foot has the clearly chiselled hairy body texture. Layers of jewels embellished around his neck and hands along with the superfine flower haloed crown broached in the centre in a peacock feather-like pattern and topped with a stylized gumbad are indicative of Ganesha’s divinity and luxury.
Chaturbhuja has the sacred Om symbol etched on his right hand, spreading courage and strength and the left one with laddoo highlights Ganesha’s love for sweets. Those expressions of dedication and vigilance can be averred from Ganesha’s eyes, having the patronage of Shaivite tilak on forehead. Sculptor’s artistry skills can be applauded by the perfection of flower tattooed flappy ears and a sober floral jeweled pattern on his trunk.
