Ganesha is the most widely loved deity of the Hindu pantheon. He is adored for His childlike disposition, proof of which lies in His unflinching love of laddooes, and His propensity to grant blessings and boons. He has been fashioned from 18 K gold and made into a ring for the Ganesha devotee to wear and carry Him with oneself, resulting into a work of great finesse and value. The Ganesha silhouette is unmistakable - the pot belly, the elephant ear-flaps and trunk, and four arms (one of which is raised in blessing, and another most definitely cradling a big fat laddoo).

Despite the minuteness of the work and the delicateness of the medium of gold, the all-important iconography has not been compromised on. The multi-tiered crown on His head is elaborate, fit for His status as a divine prince. His clothing and shringar are replete - His legs in ardha-padmasana clad in a silk dhoti, long necklaces, and bracelets on all four arms. He is the son of Shiva, so a trishool (trident) tilak has been engraved at the base of the trunk. Right above it is a piece of finely polished coral, marking the crest of the Lord. Donning this simple item of jewellery would ensure that His blessings shower upon everything you undertake with the hand that wears it.
