Carved in brass, this modern Ganesha feels alive and still all at once- more deity than sculpture. His softly sculpted elephant face, with eyes half-closed in meditative calm, draws you inward even as the metal’s subtle gleam seems to pulse with inner light.
One palm lifts in Abhāya Mudrā—“ॐ” deeply etched into its center, offering protection, while the other hand’s fingertips flutter through the gently fanned pages of the manuscript nestled on his lap. The book rests at a slight angle, inviting your gaze to the flowing script “ॐ गं गणपतये नमः” along its spine and the sacred verses just beneath its touch.
Where tradition shows Ganesha’s rounded belly, here a purposeful void opens within his torso, a modern symbol of the infinite, the cosmic space that underlies all form. From the life-filled touch of his fingers on the text to the tranquility of his meditative eyes, every carved detail conveys that this is not mere art but the living presence of the Lord of wisdom, the sacred scholar, poised to reveal the universe’s deepest secrets.
