Trimukha, or three-headed Ganesha, represents the Hindu god’s control over Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas, the three Gunas or qualities that are the core of everything.
This bronze statue is sculpted in the traditional Chola style, depicting the three-headed Ganesha on a two-tiered lotus throne, with his heads naturalistically balanced on his shoulders, adorned with Karandamukuta (basket-shaped) crowns.
The attributes Ganapati carries- a danda or staff, rosary, manuscript, and pot of water, belong to his form as “Dvija Ganapati”, one of the 32 forms Ganapati, in which he bestows wisdom.
This Panchaloha statue is a rare and powerful piece of sacred art that depicts two potent aspects of Ganesha fused.
