Om Ekdantaya Namah
Ganesha is hailed as a remover of obstacles and a harbinger of success and is both loved and venerated. Ganesha is also revered as Ekadanta Ganapati. The word ‘Eka’ denotes the number one, and ‘Danta’ is the ‘tusk.’ Thus, Ekadanta Ganapati Means the Lord with a single tusk. Ganesha is a God known to have a big belly wrapped with a snake, which signifies that he holds the entire universe safely in his belly. He has been depicted with four hands, holding his broken tusk and a noose in his right hands and a parrot and Laddoo (Sweet ball) in his left hands. One of the compassionate aspects of the Lord is Ekadanta Ganapati. As someone who gave up one of his own tusks and is therefore only seen with one tusk, He is said to be reassuring his followers of his selfless devotion for them and his willingness to make any sacrifice for their sake.
How to care for Wood Statues?
Wood is extensively used in sculpting especially in countries like China, Germany, and Japan. One feature that makes the wood extremely suitable for making statues and sculptures is that it is light and can take very fine detail. It is easier for artists to work with wood than with other materials such as metal or stone. Both hardwoods, as well as softwood, are used for making sculptures. Wood is mainly used for indoor sculptures because it is not as durable as stone. Changes in weather cause wooden sculptures to split or be attacked by insects or fungus. The principal woods for making sculptures and statues are cedar, pine, walnut, oak, and mahogany. The most common technique that sculptors use to make sculptures out of wood is carving with a chisel and a mallet. Since wooden statues are prone to damage, fire, and rot, they require proper care and maintenance.
It is extremely important to preserve and protect wooden sculptures with proper care. A little carelessness and negligence can lead to their decay, resulting in losing all their beauty and strength. Therefore, a regular clean-up of the sculptures is a must to prolong their age and to maintain their shine and luster.
