A classic depiction of Lord Ganesha, beautifully Indian, brightly iridescent with gold painting, a wonderfully kitschy souvenir for children and true India enthusiasts :)
Ganesha, the Hindu god with the elephant head, is a wise, benevolent protector who is found on every home altar in India. According to a Sanskrit translation of his name, the "Lord of all beings," Ganesh is one of the most popular gods in India and beyond. Ask me, and I will give you my good powers... he seems to say with a friendly gaze. This glistening gold figure is made of resin and hand-painted, a cheerful, typically Indian depiction of the beloved deity.

Countless stories surround Ganesha, the beloved elephant-headed Hindu god. He is known as the lord of all obstacles and can remove them if asked... he is therefore also a god of good beginnings, who can bestow serenity and confidence in situations of new beginnings and change. People ask Ganesha when they need good fortune for a journey or an undertaking. People ask Ganesha for protection and blessings, for example, when moving into a new home. Merchants worship him as their personal protector. And Ganesha grants all this with mischief and wisdom and open hands. Now, do not forget to occasionally offer him an incense stick, a laddu, a flower - so that the gentle elephant god may awaken and strengthen the good powers within you.
Ganesha Sharananam! is one of his mantras... I seek refuge in Ganesha.
