He is the son of Shiva and Parvati, and his birth story varies depending on the purana (ancient texts). One popular legend tells of Parvati creating Ganesha from the sandalwood paste she used for bathing, instructing him to guard the entrance of her abode. When Shiva returned home and was denied entry by the unfamiliar boy, a fierce battle ensued, culminating in Shiva severing Ganesha's head. Parvati was inconsolable, and Shiva, realizing his mistake, promised to replace Ganesha's head with that of the first animal he encountered facing north. That animal was an elephant, thus giving Ganesha his iconic form.Symbolism in Form
The large head symbolizes wisdom and intellect, encouraging devotees to think big and learn from experience. His large ears are ever-attentive, representing the importance of listening and absorbing knowledge. The trunk, a versatile tool, signifies adaptability and efficiency in overcoming challenges. One tusk is often depicted as broken, representing sacrifice and the willingness to let go of imperfections to attain greater wisdom. In his hands, he holds various symbols – the axe, for cutting away attachments and desires; the goad, for urging oneself forward on the path of righteousness; and the modak, a sweet dumpling representing the rewards of spiritual practice. His abhaya mudra, the gesture of blessing, offers reassurance and protection to his devotees. At his feet, a tiny mouse, his vahana (vehicle), represents humility and the control over desires. It also symbolizes that even the smallest creature can find shelter at the feet of the divine.A Legacy of Craftsmanship

Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.
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.
- The best and simplest way to maintain a brass statue is to clean it at least twice a week using a soft cloth or cotton rag. This will prevent dust from accumulating on the surface. Dusting is especially important for outdoor statues since it is prone to dust accumulation much more than indoors.
- To give a natural shine and luster to the statue, you may apply coconut or olive oil using cotton on every portion. You can use a toothbrush to get to the small crevices but do not be too harsh. This will make the brass statue appear fresh and new with a polished look.
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.
Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
