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 Parvati created a son out of loneliness. When Shiva returned, in anger, he severed the boy's head. After realizing what he had done, he ordered that the head of the first being that came by be placed on Ganesha's body to bring him back to life. This being was an elephant - a new god was born, uniting the powers of Shiva and Parvati. It is said that he clears all obstacles from the path, which is why he is often invoked before any kind of undertaking. He ensures material and spiritual prosperity and is regarded as the patron saint of businesspeople. Ganesha is also essential for any new beginning, whether it be a move or a new job, as he blesses the new situation and promises good fortune. Ganesha has four arms, representing the four aspects of the subtle body: intellect, ego, spirit, and consciousness. Made of brass with stone art and copper and silver inlays, height: 30 cm, weight: 9.5 kg.
