Jagadamba (the mother of the universe) Parvati smiles ethereally as her auspicious son Ganesha stands up holding her hand- a picture of maternal bliss and the divine affection of a mother. This mesmerizing wooden statue captures the essence of Gauri and Ganesha, the heavenly mother and child, whose sacred legends fill the heart with Vaatsalaya (affection).
Gauri, beaming with maternal joy, is adorned with delicate ornaments from head to toe, which are carved beautifully. The gentleness, and animation of Devi Uma-Parvati’s countenance has been delineated perfectly, which emerges in the heart of the divine mother as she holds the little Ganesha, gives him his favorite Modak, and watches his childhood plays. A plump and beautiful Ganesha is adorned exquisitely, with minute details that infuse his presence with an innocent charm. Carrying the most auspicious child in her embrace, Uma-Parvati is enthroned on a lotus, which is a symbol of the origin of the universe and fertility in Hindu tradition.
Together, Gauri-Ganesha are revered in many parts of India, for the boons of progeny and protection of children. As the pinnacle of motherly virtues and the home of universal goodness, Parvati and her divine son guard the fortune and joys of their devotees.
