Ganesha, 5.7 cm

Ganesha is perhaps the most popular of all Indian gods. He is considered the son of Parvati and Shiva. According to legend, Shiva retreated for meditation, and Parvati, out of loneliness, created a son. When Shiva returned, he decapitated him in anger. After realizing what he had done, he ordered to place the head of the first being that came by on Ganesha's body to revive him. This was an elephant - a new god was born, uniting the power of Shiva and Parvati.

It is said that he removes all obstacles. Thus, he is often invoked before any kind of enterprises. He ensures material and spiritual prosperity, making him the patron saint of businesspeople. But also at every new beginning, be it moving house or a new job, Ganesha's presence is essential as he blesses the new situation and promises good luck.

Ganesha has four arms. They represent the four aspects of the subtle body: mind, ego, intellect, and consciousness.
