Crafted according to traditional iconographical principles, this brass image presents Ganapati in a most auspicious form. He is Vakratunda- the gracefully curving trunk adorned by a flowing lotus vine, with the trishula and tripunda marked upon his head, and Ekadanta with the broken tusk. In his hands rest the moda, and the raised palm held in abhaya mudra, accompanied by Mushaka, assembling the full visual language through which Ganapati’s presence is traditionally invoked.
Together, these auspicious features form the most complete, powerful, and thus, traditionally worshipped image of Ganapati, the form revered for invoking all his blessings.
The sculptor has paid close attention to realism and detailing. The naturalistic folds of the dhoti, the rounded modelling of the torso, and the gentle inclination of the limbs lend the figure a sense of brimming with Ganesha’s divine yet approachable presence.
Ganesha’s foot rests firmly on the lotus, and his attire is decorated with the flower, a symbol with deeper meanings. As lord of the Muladhara (root) chakra, Ganesha presides over the point of origin, where the lotus of spiritual awareness first begins to bloom, marking the blessed beginnings of one’s inner journey.
The warm golden tone of the brass is balanced by antique accents, giving the sculpture a presence that feels both radiant and time-honoured, making it ideal for worship and the invocation of auspicious beginnings.
