Sitting Ganesha

This exquisite sculpture depicts Lord Ganesha, the beloved Hindu deity of wisdom, prosperity, and remover of obstacles. Carved in Khondalite stone , the figure portrays Ganesha seated on a raised pedestal, exuding an aura of grace and divinity. His iconic elephant head, adorned with an intricately detailed crown, is skilfully carved with symmetrical patterns and embellishments. Ganesha’s trunk curves elegantly, adding a dynamic touch to the sculpture.
His four arms hold symbolic objects: a modak (sweet) symbolizing rewards of devotion, a noose to remove obstacles, and an axe to cut attachments, while one hand is raised in a gesture of blessing (abhaya mudra). The figure is richly adorned with ornaments, including necklaces and armlets, and the pedestal features traditional designs that elevate the visual appeal.
The harmonious blend of symmetry, fine detailing, and spiritual symbolism makes this sculpture a striking piece of devotional and artistic value.
