Ganesh Square Base

These images showcase a beautifully detailed brass statue of Lord Ganesha, the revered Hindu deity known as the remover of obstacles and the lord of beginnings. The statue depicts him in a relaxed, seated posture on an intricately carved pedestal, with his characteristic elephant head, single tusk, and four arms.

His hands hold symbolic objects: a goad and a noose, representing the control of desires; a sweet delicacy (modak or laddu), symbolizing the rewards of spiritual pursuit; and a fourth hand raised in the Abhaya Mudra, a gesture of reassurance and protection.

The craftsmanship is highly intricate, with fine details etched into the brass, from the elaborate crown and the folds of his dhoti to the ornate jewelry adorning his neck, arms, and ankles.
