This Siddhi Vinayaka Ganesha statue captures the divine essence in glazing brass, portraying the majestic Herambh or Agnikanta form with an ethereal shine. Seated in the regal Rajalilasana (posture of royal ease) pose, the intricately crafted statue wields the Ankusha and Pasha, symbolizing control over wandering souls and guidance for devotees.
With a gracious hand bestowing Abhaya, the virtue of fearlessness, and another cradling a modak, the Lord dons’ exquisite ornaments, including a necklace cascading down to touch his divine feet. Amidst this royal splendor, flanking him are significant statues of Goddess Saraswati (left) and Goddess Lakshmi (right), forming a triumvirate that signifies the arrival of Shubh (auspiciousness), Labh (prosperity), and Vidya (knowledge) – virtues ensuring a joyous life.
At the base, five miniature Ganesha idols engage in a melodic celebration, playing various instruments, and creating a lively procession-like ambiance. The Kirtimukha throne, adorned with Hoysala-style embellishments, flanked by two Yali on each side, stands as a symbol of reality. This magnificent assemblage serves as a fitting tribute to Vighnaharta, inviting his blessings, and its placement promises to resonate with divine grace.
Ganesha, one of the most cherished deities in Hinduism, embodies a captivating blend of adorableness and fierceness. Revered as the remover of obstacles and the bestower of Siddhis (success), Ganesha is the focal point of endearing legends.
Among them, tales depict his childlike inclinations, indulging in the overabundance of modaks offered by devoted followers. An enchanting narrative unveils the origin of the serpent entwined around his belly. As Ganesha, mounted on his vahana, the rat, journeys back to his celestial abode, a chance encounter with a snake startles the rat.
In a backward scamper, Lord Ganesha is displaced, resulting in a fateful fall where his stomach bursts, and modaks spill. To salvage the scattered delicacies, he confronts and defeats the snake, draping it gracefully around his midriff. Intriguingly, the moon witnesses this incident and erupts in laughter, earning itself a curse from Ganesha. Henceforth, the moon undergoes a cyclical transformation, waxing and waning, a consequence of Ganesha's divine decree.
