Delicately casted Ganesha Idol sitting in Fibre with Gold highlights set on a white fibre base. The ganeshji has been crafted in fibre laying in a relaxed position with gold detailing electroplated on. The sculpture also has a small gold book, a gold ink pot and a golden quail placed in front of Him. The entire ensemble is placed on to a pure white fibre base adding an element of purity and luxury onto the piece of home décor. This Lord Ganesha sculpture makes for a sweet table décor piece and also an ideal gift for housewarming or weddings or just because, as Lord Gransha is auspicious for new beginnings placed.
Although he is known by his many attributes, Lord Ganesha™s elephant head makes him easy to identify. He is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. He is the first God to be remembered before any religious festivity or ritual. The son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha has an elephantine countenance with a curved trunk and big ears atop the pot-bellied body of a four-armed man. He is the lord of success and the destroyer of evils and obstacles, worshiped as the god of education, wisdom, and wealth. Worshippers also regard him as the destroyer of vanity, selfishness, and pride, the personification of the material universe in all its manifestations.
Ganesha's head symbolizes the Atman or the soul, which is the supreme reality of human existence, while his body signifies Maya or mankind's earthly existence. The elephantine head denotes wisdom and its trunk represents Om, the sound symbol of cosmic reality.
The best way to display sculptures is giving them breathing room, by which we mean is, enough light and room around them to appreciate their beauty. Sculptures are essential art that is not flat. Sculptural objects do what paintings can™t by giving that third dimension. They have a richness of shadowing, and give a room visual relief.

In home decor, sculptures are a great way to express personal style and to display forms that fit one™s personality. Sculptures are not limited to the classical styles. Options include modern, whimsical, realist and minimalist works that artists have created and that one can feature in your home as focal points and accents. Blending modern with classical is common
