About the work
Seated on a lotus, Ganesha's four arms hold symbolic items: a noose for controlling desires, an elephant goad for guiding, a sweet modak symbolising bliss, and his broken tusk signifying sacrifice. His mouse companion represents desire, showing Ganesha's mastery over it. The vibrant arch and floral patterns frame him like a temple, while the dark sky symbolises cosmic vastness. Peacocks on either side add beauty and balance. Painted in natural colours with intricate detail, this artwork blends devotion and craftsmanship, inviting blessings of wisdom, success, and fortune. (Note:Price of painting includes an anti-glare glass frame and a 2cm wood frame.)
