Product Description
Ganesha is the remover of obstacles, the deity whom worshipers first acknowledge when they visit a temple.
Statues of Ganesha can be found in most Indian towns. His image is placed where new houses are to be built; he is honored at the start of a journey or business venture, and poets traditionally invoke him at the start of a book.
Ganesha is also patron of letters and of learning; he is the legendary scribe who, using his commonly held broken tusk, wrote down parts of the Mahabharata Epic.
