Not just a regular Ganesha brass sculpture, this one is a bona fide carving of Lord Ganesha’s aura of wisdom and enlightenment. Its initial glance induces an essence of positivity and creativity, maintaining his primary place in Hinduism as Vighnaharta (obstacle remover) and the first and foremost to be worshipped before the commencement of any ritual or ceremony.
The royal grandeur of Ganesha can be observed by the way he is enthroned on an exquisite cut platform chiseled in marveled patterns of flowers and ethnic borders with the distinctive prabhavali, pointed at the top forming the backdrop. Note the inverted lotus at the top and the thin-sliced petal formations along the circumference that fits perfectly to the charm of Ganesha’s throne.
Lord Ganesha is identified by his elephant-head and the large paunchy belly, which the sculptor has carved enhancing his kingly stature. The royal stance of his legs and the comfort of his hands is an indication of him being ‘King Ganesha’. Ganesha has just the bottom half of his legs visible while seated, as the rest is veiled by the large belly-sack which has Shiva’s (Ganesha’s father) serpent coiled around it. You can’t restrict yourself from praising the carvings of the multiple layered necklaces forming a large lotus pendant on his belly along with a similarly styled crown decorated with a sarpech (kalangi) that has a major role in ornamentation in Hinduism. Also, the rays that expand from his sun-like aureole complement the spirituality of Lord Ganesha.
Chaturbhujadhari has his iconic implements in the posterior hands and the right anterior one holds the broken tusk, which he did to complete his writings of Mahabharata, while the left anterior hand holds a motichoor laddoo which the bejeweled striated trunk can’t wait to put in his mouth. The deep etched eyes, dense eyebrows, tattooed flappy ears and a designer floral embellishment on forehead is a mark of sculptor’s creative phenomenon.
