Description
Ganesha, the son of Shiva and Parvati, is the Hindu God governing the life force and the earth's mother. Ganesha has an Elephant countenance with a curved trunk, big ears, and a huge pot-bellied body of a human being. Ganesha is a widely worshiped Hindu deity and is often revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom. Ganesha`s trunk symbolizes the fact that a wise person has both immense strength and fine discrimination. This 9.25-inch high, 5.5-inch diameter wonderfully detailed resin statue depicts Ganesha seated on a lotus flower with an upraised hand symbolizing protection and sanctuary for his devotees.
