Delve into the multifaceted divine with Chaturmukha Ganapati, also known as the Dvija Ganapati, a captivating sculpture born from Madhuchista Vidhana in the sacred Panchaloha Bronze from Swamimalai. With four faces symbolizing the cosmic directions, Lord Ganesha stands as the guardian of the universe. The word 'Dwija' is a mixture of two terms: 'Dwi,' which means two, and 'Ja,' which is an abbreviation of 'Janma,' which signifies birth.
Thus, 'Dwija' simply means 'twice born'. Dwija Ganapati is also revered as the Lord equal to Brahma, the Creator God. He holds a Rudhraksha beaded japa mala, a Kamandalam (water vessel), a dhandam (an ascetic's stick), and an ancient text or literature composed of palm leaves. As you engage with this artwork, let the symbolism of the four faces guide you in navigating the complexities of life, offering divine protection from all directions.
