Ganesha, lord of the ganas, is the most universally adored of all the Hindu gods, and his image is found practically in every part of India.

The devotees of Krishna - Ganesha cult represent Bala Ganesha in the attitude of the child Krishna, crawling with one hand raised, containing a modaka and the other posed on the ground. He is shown relishing the sweets from a bowl full of modaks lying in the forefront. Surmounting the head is a plumed and jewelled turban. One of his tusk is severed. Ganesha broke his beautiful white tusk in a sacrificial act, using it as a stylus to get a job done. His ears are very large and resemble winnowing fans (which separate husk from the grain). Although they hear everything, they retain only that which is good. The face is that of an elephant but the eyes and the limbs are humanistic. Of course his most noted characteristic, the pot belly, remains. He wears gold necklaces, armlets, bracelets and anklets. He raises his hand holding the modak to the trunk which has been twisted to partake the sweet. His love for this sweet is common knowledge. His other hand discreetly move towards the dish containing the modaks.

The Ganesha image stands against a pale ochre background which holds the colourful crackle extremely well.
