Lord Ganesh
Lord Ganesh is the most popular deity of
the Indian pantheon. He is worshipped by hundreds of millions of Hindus all over
the world as supreme remover of obstacles and bringer of good fortune. Ganesha’s job is to
smoothen the path in this troublesome world, thereby helping His devotees
achieve their goals, and perfect happiness too. Tradition has it that Ganesh is very
smart and always ‘with it’. That’s why in this day and age He prefers to read
the computer classic Visual Basic
rather than some ancient religious tome. The sculpture represents Ganesh in His
Irish rebirth. It took 5 craftsmen one
year to hand cut and polish this delightful work of art. The stone is black
granite. It weighs about 2 tons. |
