The elder son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha, is not only worshipped at the beginning of every enterprise but his image is seen at the entrance of every house, of every sanctuary.
According to Shiva Purana, Ganesha was their son without the participation of Shiva but Ganesha idolized him. Here we see Ganesha paying obeisance to Shiva Linga - the yoni bhaga of which rests on an inverted lotus pedestal.
At the base of the linga a cobra, a symbol of Shiva's sexual energy, is seen coiled around. The third eye of Shiva is also engraved on Shiva's linga.
With bent knees and hands in anjali mudra, Ganesha raises his trunk paying salutations to Shiva. He wears a small crown and other ostentatious jewellery. A snake is knotled at his stomach, being used as a waist belt. On his trunk are engraved Shiva's attributes and the symbol AUM. Also seen kneeling beside him is his vehicle, the mouse.
The images of Ganesha and the Shiva linga are placed on a cluster of boulders. Snakes can be seen sliding in and out of them.

Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.
In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth.
