These Dancing Ganesh Statues stand 8 inches tall and are made of cold cast Bronze resin, a technique invented by the British that mixes bronze powder and resin together to make a unique statue that is then hand painted. The finish of these Ganesh statues is what makes these figures so special; The power and grace of Ganesh is captured by the warm, antique bronze look to the body, while Lord Ganesh's clothing is giving a subtle finish.
As Ganesh is the son of Lord Shiva, you will probably notice that this is the same dancing pose in the Shiva Nataraja statues. However, there are some differences; Shiva is surrounded by a ring made of Agni the God of Fire, and dances upon a demon. Lord Ganesh dances upon a lotus blossom, symbolizing purity. Lord Ganesh is the elephant headed God of Wisdom and Success. He is believed to oversee auspicious beginnings and can remove obstacles. This large Ganesha statue shows one of the most popular deities in Hinduism and is made of bone resin. Ganesh is one of the sons of Siva, and his elephant head is a symbol of his immense wisdom. In his left hand he holds a noose, a symbol of man's attachment to material desire. He holds an axe in his upper right hand, which symbolizes the ability to sever that attachment. He holds his broken-off tusk in his lower right hand, which he used to inscribe the Mahabarata, one of the major Hindu religious works. In his lower left hand he holds a conch shell. The spiraling of the conch shell symbolizes the turning of the universe. As the God of Success, Ganesh is to be worshiped before any other gods during Hindu rituals. But Ganesha is also prayed to before starting almost any venture, no matter how large or small, such as starting a trip or vacation, buying a new car or house, writing a new book or other artistic activity or almost anything else.
