Ganesha - Lover of Sweets vishnu The sculpture captures the intensity

The sculpture captures the intensity of the moment

particularly in North India and Nepal

with vigilant eyes scanning the surroundings

and the eternal dance of life and death

rather than the trinity of other Hindu sects

Ganesha - Lover of Sweets vishnu The sculpture captures the intensityA sleek, modern Ganesha is highly recognisable with his elephant head and human body, representing the soul (atman) and the physical (maya). He is depicted in an innumerable variety of forms by artists. He is a patron of writers, travellers, students, and commerce, he removes obstacles blocking new projects and is fond of sweets, to the slight detriment of his figure. Seen here carrying a sweet snack in his left hand and right hand in abhaya mudra
