As one of the most well-known and venerated of divinities, Ganesha, the first son of Shiva and Parvati is exquisitely presented here in one of his thirty-two forms, as noted in texts like the Mudgala Purana, Sritattvanidhi, and scholarship of people like Pratapaditya Pal and Ramachandra Rao. In this ‘panchaloha’ bronze image, we have the sixth form of Ganesha, known as the ‘Dwija Ganapati’ or Ganapati the twice born.

Ganesha’s manifestation as a twice born is different from the general notion of the same which is attributed to Brahmans – who are born a second time when they wear the sacred thread ‘janeu’ and take on the responsibilities of performing holy rituals. For Ganesha, being twice born is being incarnated as Lord Brahma, and this is visible in the manner of the Ganapati’s depiction, as he is presented with four heads and arms, and visually, shown in pure white. Ganesha’s four hands hold a ‘kamandalam’ or a water vessel from which sprouts all creation, a ‘dhandam’ or an ascetic’s staff, ancient scriptures, and a hand raised in the ‘vitarka mudra’ holding a rudraksha mala. At the base of the pedestal, we also see Ganesha’s faithful mount or ‘vahana,’ Mooshak, looking up to the god.

Today, the worship of the Dwija Ganapati – which is spread across places like the Ballaleshwar temple in Pali and the temples in Chamarajanagar and Nanjangud in Mysore – is sought by the faithful to take care of monetary problems and secure a good standing in the material world of things. The Dwija Ganapati is also portrayed in a painting in the Pazhavangadi temple in Thiruvananthapuram.
