This wood sculpture is a one of a kind statue, hand carved by the artists of south India.

"In heaven Lord Ganesh will establish the predominance of gods, on earth that of people, in the nether world that of serpents and anti-gods"
 ~A Hymn from Sri Bhagavat-Tathva~

Special Features:  Ganesh is seated on a double lotus base. He holds in his hands, a noose, an axe, his broken tusk that he used to write the Mahabharata epic and a mango.  Beneath Ganesh is a rat on one side and an offering of rice for the rat on the other side.  Ganesh is usually shown in sculpture accompanied by or riding a rat.  Since rats are seen as being capable of gnawing their way through most things, the rat symbolizes Ganesh's ability to destroy every obstacle.  Further beneath Ganesh is two Gana's.  Ganesh's name literally means "Lord of Gana."  Ganesh was entrusted by Shiva with the leadership of the ganas, Shiva's dwarfish, rowdy retinue, in compensation for the loss of his human head. Ganesh is surrounded by thick vegetation of the Indian jungle.  Within the canopy of swirling trees is a peacock and three buds from the flower of a banana tree.
