Lord Ganesha, a divine genius, has been represented in the statue primarily as playing on his flute, but the gesture of his trunk in encircling the flute, the ecstasy revealing from his eyes and face, the semi-dance mode of his feet and the rhythm that defines his entire anatomy, are more the attributes of a dancer, which this form of Lord Ganesh blends. Dance is not, however, his deliberate mode. It is more like a spontaneous reflex, as the 'Venuvadaka' does not know when his head curved in rapture and feet turned to the notes of his flute. The melody that emits from an ordinary bamboo pipe not only enchants the world beyond but sends the piper also into a similar trance and in the process reels his entire figure rhythmically float the ends of his sash and stretch to the optimum his ears. His ever-present mouse too contributes his own gyrations to Lord Ganesha’s divine rhythms.
This sculpture was cast in the city of Aligarh, in the central Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
