The Advitya

This image presents a magnificent brass statue of Lord Ganesha, depicted in a regal seated posture on an ornate throne. The statue boasts a radiant golden-bronze finish, indicative of quality brass craftsmanship. Ganesha is shown with his characteristic four arms, each holding a symbolic item.

In his upper two hands, he holds an ankusha (elephant goad) and a paasha (noose), traditional attributes that symbolize his ability to guide and control obstacles. His lower right hand is extended in a gesture of blessing, while his lower left hand cradles a modak, his beloved sweet. He is richly adorned with an elaborate crown, intricate necklaces, and a dhoti with detailed folds, all meticulously sculpted.

A prominent Prabhavali (halo) with radiating sun-like patterns frames his head, emphasizing his divine aura. Ganesha sits comfortably on an exquisitely carved throne, complete with cylindrical armrests that appear to have a reddish fabric or cushion, adding a touch of comfort and grandeur. The throne itself is highly decorated with delicate carvings. With dimensions of 4 x 5 x 2 inches and a weight of 290 grams, this statue is a substantial yet manageable decorative piece, perfect for adding a touch of spiritual elegance to any space.
