This exceptional wood carving of Bhagawan Ganesha in vintage finish, three feet in height but immeasurable in its magnificence and grandeur, defines his Vira Ganapati – the ‘valiant warrior’ form, one of his initial thirty-two classical forms which early texts, the eighth century Maudgalya Purana in special, have identified or conceived.

Though exceptionally beautiful and endowed with divine aura, Vira Ganapati, primarily a votive form conceived as standing and in readiness to proceed to a target, is broadly a dynamic form having a commanding posture.

In plasticity, precision, minuteness of details, especially in designing the massive mandala of arms around him and in creating the desired effect, especially the majestic bearing, the artefact is simply unparalleled. With sixteen arms stretched on both sides, each holding a different implement, the image acquires a circular form and is thus suggestive of cosmic dimensions which Lord Ganesha pervades.

Vira Ganapati is a form which is both the remover of obstacles and the harbinger of good, the valiant warrior Ganesha, fights out obstacles and effects good, prosperity, and success. In his form as Vira Ganapati, Lord Ganesha is both, the protector and the promoter of his devotees.
