Description
Ganesha is the God governing the life force and the earth-mother, and the son of Shiva and Parvati. Ganesha has an elephantine 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 7-inch high, 5.5-inch long, 2.5-inch wide wonderfully detailed resin statue depicts Ganesha seated on a lotus flower in the "royal pose" position, holding sacred objects in his many hands.
