Meditative Ganesha
IDOL IS MADE ON THE DRY TEAK WOOD (SAAGWAN).Sagwan wood (Indian teak) acts as the foundational core for silver furniture because it provides the necessary
heavy-duty structural strength, termite resistance, and longevity required to securely support heavy silver.
The Idol displays brilliantly silver sculpture of the Hindu deity Lord Ganesha. He is depicted in a traditional seated posture atop an intricately
engraved rectangular stool , set against a rich, draped blue background
Description
The Lord Ganesha Idol
Pose: Ganesha is seated in a relaxed, meditative posture (Lalitasana). His right leg is folded flat along the base, while his left knee is raised up slightly with the
foot tucked. His head is turned slightly to his right.
The Four Arms & Attributes:
Upper Right Hand: Holds a closed lotus bud stem.
Upper Left Hand: Holds a traditional weapon attribute, likely a mace or an ornate goad (ankusha).
Lower Right Hand: Raised slightly forward in the Abhaya Mudra (gesture of fearlessness and blessing).
Lower Left Hand: Rests on his left knee, holding a large, patterned sweet, toward which his trunk gracefully curls.
Attire and Adornments: The deity features a smooth, highly reflective skin finish that contrasts with his textured adornments. He wears a tiered conical crown (mukut)
embellished with a fine cross-hatched grid pattern. He is decorated with a heavy beaded necklace, layered chest bands, armlets, bracelets, and thick anklets.
