Ganesha

This exquisite sculpture depicts Lord Ganesha, the Hindu deity revered as the remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom and prosperity. Carved in limestone, the intricate detailing highlights the craftsmanship involved in its creation. Ganesha is shown seated on a raised pedestal, surrounded by ornate carvings of floral patterns, and divine attendants, embodying the richness of traditional Indian temple art.
The sculpture captures Ganesha with multiple arms, holding symbolic objects such as a lotus, modak (sweet), and other divine implements. His vahana (vehicle), a mouse, is carved at the base, symbolizing humility and grounding. Above Ganesha, the arch is crowned with a depiction of a hooded serpent and intricate figure on the top, enhancing the sanctity and grandeur of the piece.
The symmetry, ornate detailing, and spiritual symbolism make this artwork a masterpiece, reflecting both devotional sentiment and artistic finesse.

Art care – Limestone sculpture: Limestone is typically fine-grained, soft, and easy to carve. It often features light, creamy colours like beige or off-white, making it ideal for intricate, detailed carvings.

•  Use a soft cloth or a brush with soft bristles to remove dust and particles from the surface. Dust regularly.
•  You can wash it with lukewarm water with mild soap/detergent
•  Avoid using any acidic cleaners such as vinegar, lemon, or harsh chemical solutions to prevent any erosions of the surface
•  Avoid heavy impact to prevent chip, cracking or breaking
