Ganapati across the Indian subcontinent and beyond is the embodiment of universal auspiciousness and wisdom. An ode to the eternal powers of the elephant-faced Lord, this magnificent Panchaloha bronze statute depicts the popular Chaturbhuja or four-armed Roopa of Sri Ganesha in an awe-inspiring manner. On a beautifully made double-tiered pedestal, Sri Ganesha is seated in a regal pose, being revered by a minuscule Mushaka on his left.
An elaborate Karandamukuta (inverted-basket shaped crown) with Makara motifs (symbolic of regalia and divinity), Tripunda on the forehead, bell on the trunk, necklaces, Yajnopavita, armlets, anklets, serpent waistband, and lovely floral marks on knees adorn the supreme Ganesha. Holding a pot of auspiciousness or Purnaghata in his folded trunk, Paasha (noose) and Ankusha (goad), broken tusk, and Modaka in his four hands, Ganesha in this aspect is also known as Ekadanta (single-tusked).
A sacred animation wraps the majestic bronze icon, speaking for the skills of Swamimalai’s artists, who have successfully evoked Ganapati in their art. With meticulous detailing that has given a realism par excellence to the statue, this Ganesha murti is dedicated to the powers and royalty of He who is the remover of all obstacles, the first-revered son of Uma.
