Dancing Ganesh Wall Relief from Angkor Wat
Item No. 8029S
Ganesh, also called Ganapati, the elephant headed God of Wisdom and Success is the defender and
remover of obstacles and has to be propritiated first before worshiping other Gods. He is one of the sons
of Siva and Parvati. He is known as "Sidhi Data" or bestower of success in the work. His elephant head is
believed to be an emblem of wisdom. His head often has one full tusk, while the other is broken. It is said
that he lost it in a fight or that he used it to dictate the Maha-Bharata to the sage Vyasa. His mount or
standard is a rat, a symbol in Hindu fable of the sagasity & trickery of this world, much like the fox in the
west. So it is natural that the rat should first be conquered, then subdued and employed by the being who
represents spiritual strength, whom he was bound to recognise as his superior, since his own cunning
would tell him that Ganesh would prove a better guide than even his own perspicacity.
Dimensions: 10"H (25cm)
