Ganesha Goldantik, 23 cm

Ganesha is perhaps the most popular of all Indian gods. He is considered the son of Parvati and Shiva. According to legend, Shiva withdrew for meditation, and in her loneliness, Parvati created a son. When Shiva returned, he beheaded him in anger. After realizing what he had done, he ordered the head of the first creature that came by to be placed on Ganesha’s body to revive him. This was an elephant - a new god was born, combining the strength of Shiva and Parvati.
It is said that he removes all obstacles in the way. Thus, he is often invoked before any kind of undertaking. He provides material and spiritual prosperity, making him the patron saint of business people. But he is also necessary at every new beginning, be it a move or a new job, since he blesses the new situation and promises luck.
Ganesha has four arms. They represent the four aspects of the subtle body: mind, ego, spirit, and consciousness.
