Ganesha is the beloved elephant-headed remover of obstacles, invoked at the start of every new venture, journey, and undertaking. In this compact form he raises one hand in abhaya mudra, the gesture of fearlessness and protection, assuring devotees that obstacles ahead will be cleared. In his upper hands he carries a pasha (noose) to bind and remove obstacles and an axe to sever attachment, the tools by which he clears the path for spiritual progress.

He sits with one leg folded and the other bent upright, his trunk curving down and across his rounded belly toward a sweet held at his lap. An elaborate crown with winged side flourishes rises above his broad fanned ears, and a beaded necklace with a central pendant drapes across his chest. One upper hand grips the serpent-headed pasha (noose) while the other holds the axe, and his lower hand rises in abhaya mudra beside his cheek. He rests on a rounded base finished with a scrolling border. Cast in resin with a black finish rubbed through to warm gold undertones and standing 11 inches tall, this piece suits a garden nook, entryway shelf, or altar.

"The statue chooses you.

You know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart."

"In heaven Lord Ganesh will establish the predominance of gods, on earth that of people, in the nether world that of serpents and anti-gods"
~A Hymn from Sri Bhagavat-Tathva~

The chubby, gentle, wise, elephant-headed Ganesh, or Ganesha, is one of Hinduisms most popular deities. He is the remover of obstacles, the deity whom worshippers first acknowledge when they visit a temple. He is also patron of letters and of learning; he is the legendary scribe who, using his broken tusk, which he often holds, wrote down parts of the Mahabharata epic. Ganesh is usually depicted colored red; he is pot bellied, has one tusk broken, and has four arms that may hold a pasam, a goad, and a pot of rice or sweetmeats. The sweet meats are held in a type of bowl known as a laddus. His appetite for these sweets is legendary and offerings of them are often left at his shrine.

Statues of Ganesh can be found in most Indian towns. His image is placed where new houses are to be built; he is honored at the start of a journey or business venture, and poets traditionally invoke him at the start of a book.

A pasam is a triple twine weapon. Each of the three twines represents, arrogance and conceit, Maya - the illusory nature of the real world, ignorance. In Hindu ideology weapons are a viewed as symbolic tools to destroy the ego rather than to cause any type of bloodshed. Goads (or elephant prods) are typically used to direct elephants. Goads are symbolic of how one should steer the soul away from the ignorance and illusions of this earthly world just as a mahout would steer an elephant away from any treacherous path.
