Jagadamba (the mother of the universe) Parvati smiles ethereally as her auspicious son Ganesha stands up holding her hand- a picture of maternal bliss and the divine affection of a mother. This mesmerizing wooden statue captures the essence of Gauri and Ganesha, the heavenly mother and child, whose sacred legends fill the heart with Vaatsalaya (affection).

Gauri, beaming with maternal joy, is adorned with delicate ornaments from head to toe, which are carved beautifully. The gentleness, and animation of Devi Uma-Parvati’s countenance has been delineated perfectly, which emerges in the heart of the divine mother as she holds the little Ganesha, gives him his favorite Modak, and watches his childhood plays. A plump and beautiful Ganesha is adorned exquisitely, with minute details that infuse his presence with an innocent charm. Carrying the most auspicious child in her embrace, Uma-Parvati is enthroned on a lotus, which is a symbol of the origin of the universe and fertility in Hindu tradition.

Together, Gauri-Ganesha are revered in many parts of India, for the boons of progeny and protection of children. As the pinnacle of motherly virtues and the home of universal goodness, Parvati and her divine son guard the fortune and joys of their devotees.

A Divine Embrace

Behold a captivating representation of maternal love and divine grace, meticulously carved from Shivani wood. This breathtaking statue portrays the goddess Gauri, also known as Parvati, gently cradling her beloved son, Ganesha. The sculpture captures a tender moment, a snapshot of the eternal bond between mother and child that resonates deeply within the human spirit. This is not merely a depiction of deities; it is an embodiment of the nurturing, protective, and unwavering love that is central to the Hindu faith.

The Mythology and Symbolism

Gauri, the consort of Lord Shiva, embodies strength, fertility, and devotion. She is revered as the epitome of womanhood and motherhood. Ganesha, easily recognizable by his elephant head, is the god of wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune. He is the remover of obstacles, invoked at the beginning of new ventures and worshipped by people from all walks of life. Legend has it that Ganesha was created by Parvati to guard her privacy. The story goes that Shiva, unaware of this, was denied access to his wife's chambers by the young Ganesha. In a fit of rage, Shiva severed Ganesha's head. Parvati was inconsolable, and Shiva, realizing his error, promised to restore Ganesha to life. He instructed his followers to bring the head of the first creature they encountered facing north. They returned with the head of an elephant, which Shiva then attached to Ganesha's body, bringing him back to life. This iconic depiction of Ganesha with an elephant head symbolizes wisdom, intelligence, and the power of the mind.

A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship

Every detail of this sculpture has been carefully considered and executed. Gauri's serene expression, the intricate patterns adorning her garments, and the playful pose of Ganesha speak to the skill and dedication of the artisan. The lotus upon which the deities are seated, is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, representing purity, enlightenment, and spiritual awakening. The use of Shivani wood lends a natural warmth and beauty to the piece, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and giving it a timeless quality. The smooth finish and refined details invite closer inspection, revealing the artist's mastery of their craft. The sculpture is mounted on a solid, dark base, adding stability and enhancing the visual contrast. This statue serves as a tangible reminder of the divine presence in our lives, a source of inspiration, and a symbol of hope and prosperity. It is a piece to be treasured, not just for its artistic value, but for the profound spiritual significance it carries.
