Sitting Ganesha

This intricately carved sculpture depicts Lord Ganesha, a revered deity in Hinduism, symbolizing wisdom, prosperity, and the remover of obstacles. The statue is crafted from limestone and showcases fine detailing in its design. Ganesha is seated in a traditional posture, adorned with elaborate ornaments and a headdress. His four arms hold various symbolic items, including a modak (sweet), an axe, and a lotus, while one hand is raised in a blessing gesture.
The sculpture features a richly carved arch above Ganesha, adorned with ornate patterns and celestial motifs, including mythological figures and floral designs. Two smaller deities are present on either side of the main figure, further enriching its divine symbolism. The base is intricately decorated with patterns of lotuses, animals, and traditional Indian motifs, reflecting the artistry and spiritual depth of the piece. This work exemplifies the mastery of traditional Indian stone carving.

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
