Lord Ganpati, also known as Gajanan, seated gracefully upon a lotus throne, exudes serenity and power. His right hand, in the “Abhaya Mudra”, radiates blessings, while his upper hands hold a symbolic goad and noose, symbolising control over desires and obstacles. Two majestic elephants, with profound reverence, offer fragrant garlands, echoing devotion and adoration. This South Indian temple wood carving, steeped in ancient tradition, serves as a profound reminder of Ganesh’s benevolence, protection, and the eternal cycle of creation and dissolution.
This exquisite piece of antique wall decor is not just an object; it’s history preserved in wood.
