Ganesh Statue - Seated on Lotus Flower Style

This colorful Ganesh statue celebrates the Hindu Lord of success and destroyer of evils and obstacles. Ganesh is also viewed the god of knowledge, wisdom, education and wealth. Ganesha is one of the five prime Hindu deities along with Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and Durga.

Ganesha's head is the symbol of the soul known as Atman, thought of as the ultimate supreme reality of existence. His human body represents Maya, the earthbound existence of human beings. The elephant head is a symgol of wisdom and its trunk symbolizes Om, the symbolic sound of cosmic reality. Ganesha holds a goad in his upper right hand to move mankind forward on their eternal path and destory all obstacles that stand in the way. The noose in Ganesha's left hand allows him a tool to capture all difficulties.

Ganesh holds his broken tusk in his lower right hand. This is a symbol of sacrifice. For he broke off his own tusk to write the Mahabharata. He holds a rosary in another hand, symbol of the pursuit of knowledge. His large ears are ready to receive our petition and the snake at his waist conveys energy.
