Lord Ganesha, the Elephant-headed Destroyer of Obstacles, the Harbinger of Auspiciousness and one of the most loved Gods in the Hindu pantheon, also the most versatile. No matter Ganesha is portrayed to be doing, He always looks adorable and adds a spark of life to any home wherein He is installed.
Ganesha, the Lord of the Ganas and the Divine Son of Parvati (also known as Uma) and Maheshwara (also known as Shiva) is sometimes shown dancing joyously, while at other times, He is shown playing several musical instruments. The brightly painted, beautiful wood sculpture featured here shows Ganesha or Ganpati blissfully playing several authentically Indian musically instruments. Here, He is shown playing instruments like the sitar, harmonium, mridangam, flute and the tabla. The sculpture truly captures the spirit of the highly talented Ganesha losing Himself in His own music!
