A striking amalgamation of the remover of obstacles Sri Ganesha sitting atop the primordial serpent Adi Shesha after quelling its pride, and one of the most popular Hindu motifs, Kirtimukha (face of glory), this brass wall hanging holds an enormously powerful message, along with the benevolent eye of Sri Ganesha.
Kiritimukha was originally a demon born from Shiva’s wrath that, troubled by his insatiable hunger and directed by Shiva, began devouring himself until all he had for a body was his face or Mukha as presented in this brass Kirtimukha with Ganesha wall hanging.
Moved by his glorious devotion, Lord Shiva gave him the name- Kirtimukha (Kirti-glory, Mukha- face) and established him at the entrance of all the holy shrines as a protector of the deity and a reminder of the virtue of self-surrender. In the ancient Hindu temples, the presence of the Kirtimukha on the top of the entrance is a tradition and without the Kirtimukha, it is believed that no temple structure is complete.
