Statue, Ganesha - 24 cm - Bronze - 1980

Bronze seated Ganesha.
Ganesha, the beloved and iconic deity of Hinduism, fulfills a versatile role as the god of different aspects of life. With his characteristic appearance of an elephant head on a human body, Ganesha is praised for his unique qualities that make him the deity of beginnings, wisdom, and the removal of obstacles.

One of Ganesha's best-known roles is perhaps that of the 'Vighnaharta' or 'Remover of Obstacles'. Devotees pray to him to overcome challenges, difficulties, and hindrances.

Ganesha's symbolism extends to the realm of inner obstacles, including ego, attachment, and ignorance. He teaches that true success and spiritual growth come from overcoming these inner impediments.
