Ganesha is the god of curation and protection; worshipped before starting any sacred or non sacred work as a symbol of good luck. ‘Chaturbhuja’ means Ganesha having four hands. He is easily identifiable because of his unique elephant head and symbolizes the spirit and body of the wise. His mantra, ‘aum ganeshaya namaha’, means, ‘in what we are about to do, let wisdom be our guide’.

In this sculpture, he is seen sitting on a designer two layered pedestal with left leg resting on a cushion on the left and right leg folded inwards. The mouse (mooshak), his sacred vehicle, sits on the right side with an excitement of eating the laddoo, representing Ganesha’s desire and ability to reach every mind. Ganesha’s left hand holds a laddoo as a gift of hardwork, which he is eating with his marvelous flower patterned trunk; right hand is in Abhaya Mudra blessing his devotees. Rear hands hold a lotus for purity and affection and conch to convey followers to come and prey. The ample stomach is to digest all good and bad in life and move on. Big decorated ears represent the ability to listen everything at all times. He wears a yellowish colored dhoti with flower design and a greenish colored stole. Shaivite tilak is artistically represented on his forehead along with symbols of Trishul and satiya; deep eyes represent his continuous concentration on his works. Enriched with dazzling jewels and a heavenly decorated crown with a flower shape aureole makes his appearance note worthy.

Ganesha is the god of everyman. This marble statue has a great magnetism because of artists’ perfection and patience in making it.

The Divine Remover of Obstacles

Invoking the blessings of Lord Ganesha, the beloved elephant-headed deity, this exquisite Chaturbhuja Ganesha statue is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. Carved from pure white marble, the sculpture emanates an aura of serenity and divine grace. Ganesha, revered as the remover of obstacles and the god of beginnings, is depicted in his characteristic seated posture, symbolizing stability and steadfastness. His four arms, representing the four essential aspects of human existence – mind, intellect, ego, and consciousness – are poised in gestures of blessing and empowerment. In one hand, he holds a lotus, a symbol of purity and spiritual awakening, signifying that even amidst the worldly distractions, one can achieve inner peace. Another hand gestures in abhaya mudra, bestowing protection and dispelling fear. The other two hands are adorned with divine implements, often interpreted as a noose to tie down obstacles and a hook to guide devotees towards the right path. The gentle curve of his trunk and the serene expression on his face convey wisdom and compassion.

A Symbol of Auspicious Beginnings

The very form of Lord Ganesha is steeped in rich mythology. Tales abound of his birth from the divine union of Shiva and Parvati, and how he was granted his unique form. He is the patron of arts and sciences, and the scribe of the epic Mahabharata, demonstrating his immense intellect and devotion. His mount, the humble mouse, symbolizes his control over desires and the ability to overcome even the smallest of hindrances. This statue, with its meticulous detailing, captures the essence of this revered deity, making it a powerful focal point for any sacred space or home.

Ethereal Craftsmanship in Marble

This statue is more than just a religious icon; it is a work of art. The brilliant white marble, polished to a smooth finish, serves as a pristine canvas for the intricate carvings. Delicate gold accents and subtle pastel hues are meticulously painted onto the marble, highlighting the divine embellishments and the folds of Ganesha's dhoti. The ornate crown, adorned with sparkling gems, adds to the regal splendor of the deity. The base, intricately decorated with traditional motifs, provides a stable and elegant foundation. The presence of the little mouse at his side, rendered with charming detail, completes the divine tableau. This Chaturbhuja Ganesha statue is designed to bring prosperity, good fortune, and spiritual harmony to its surroundings, serving as a constant reminder of divine grace and protection.

How to clean and maintain marble statues?

Marble has been a preferred material for sculptors and artists for more than a thousand years. It is a rock that undergoes metamorphism which causes recrystallization of the original carbonate mineral grains. Marble comes in various colors, designs, and dimensions. Pure white marble is the most preferred type of marble for making sculptures and statues since time immemorial. White marble is especially used for sculpting stone monumental sculptures since ancient times. The natural shine and luster of the carbonate crystals of white marble give a lavish and beautiful appearance to the statue.

Marble stone statues are highly durable and can even withstand harsh weather conditions without getting corroded, therefore, they can be kept indoors or outdoors without getting damaged or weathered. Although these statues can last for many decades, their regular care and cleaning are essential to increase their longevity and beautiful appearance.

The simplest and basic way of cleaning a marble stone statue is to clear away dirt accumulated on the surface. Outdoor statues are especially prone to biological growth and dirt build-up that may take away their natural beauty. You may rinse the statue with warm water and mild soap to clean the dirt as much as possible. You can use a sponge or cotton cloth to scrape off dirt accumulated in crevices and cracks.

You must never allow water to stand on the surface of the statue for a long time. Standing water gets absorbed by the marble’s porous surface which results in its discoloration. Therefore, it is always recommended to dry-clean the statue with a towel or damp cloth.

Applying beeswax, a non-toxic product, on the surface of the marble statue offers protection against staining, dirt, and pollutants. It also polishes the surface and gives a natural shine to the statue.

Marble statues need periodical cleaning to maintain their flawless look. However, harsh and deep cleaning can result in making the statue look dull. If your marble statue is withering away, it is recommended to take the help of a professional cleaner. Marble is a delicate material and therefore needs proper care.

Marble Mastery Unveiled: The Artisan's Symphony in Sculpting Timeless Beauty

Marble is a soft and delicate metamorphic rock derived from limestone. It is composed mainly of recrystallized carbonate minerals. The appealing appearance of marble gives rise to the making of beautiful sculptures and statues. Jaipur city of Rajasthan, India, is considered the capital of marble carving where various marble idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are made. These magnificent statues are carved by skilled sculptors out of the purest white marble. The slight softness of white marble makes it easier to be carved and chiseled into any desirable form or shape. Another impressive feature of marble is that the calcite has a low refractive index that allows light to penetrate the stone before getting scattered out. This results in bringing a translucent appearance and luster to the marble sculpture. This is the reason why most sculptors prefer to work with marble for sculpting life-size statues that require intricate details, evoking a certain realism to the work.

There is a detailed or step-by-step process of developing the desired structure of a sculpture from marble stone. These steps are:

1. Clay mould

Most sculptors prefer to sculpt a preliminary model out of clay or wax to translate its complex and intricate details into the final stone sculpture with the use of calipers or a pointing machine. The plasticity of the clay mould helps sculptors capture the success of the final sculpture before carving the stone. The clay is moulded into the desired shape or form and this acts as a rough

2. Roughing out

The second step of carving or sculpting is to remove large portions of unwanted marble stone. This task is done by using a special tool known as a point chisel. The pointed end of this tool is useful for splitting the large stone and removing big chunks that are not wanted. Usually, a mallet (a tool similar to a hammer) is used to transfer energy through the chisel to shatter the stone evenly and accurately.

3. Refining the figure

Once the sculptors have determined the general shape of the sculpture, a toothed chisel or claw chisel is used to refine the stone. These tools create parallel lines in the stone to add texture to the figure. During this stage, the rough block of stone has now changed into the general shape of the sculpture.

4. Adding the details

The sculptor is now ready to carry out detailed work to develop a more refined form of the sculpture. Tools such as rasps and rifflers are then used to enhance the shape into its final form. These tools finely create details such as frills or folds of clothing or locks of hair.

5. Polishing

This is the last step in marble sculpting in which the sculptor uses materials such as sandpaper to bring out a natural sheen to the sculpture. The sandpaper is rubbed against the surface to make it smoother and flawless. Sometimes, tin oxide is also used to make the sculpture appear glossy and more translucent.

Marble sculptures are highly durable and can last for many decades if maintained and taken care of properly. They are also extremely weather-resistant and therefore, can be kept outdoors or indoors. The exquisite beauty of marble statues elevates the aura of the space and emanates positivity all around.
