Ganesha, brass with stone art, 30 cm

Ganesha is perhaps the most popular of all Indian gods. He is considered to be the son of Parvati and Shiva. According to legend, Shiva retired to meditate and Parvati, out of loneliness, created a son for herself. When Shiva returned, he cut off his head out of anger. After realizing what he had done, he ordered the head of the first person to pass by to be placed on Ganesha's body to revive him. This was an elephant - a new god was born, combining the power of Shiva and Parvati.

It is said that he removes all obstacles. He is often called before any kind of undertaking. He ensures material and spiritual prosperity and is therefore considered a patron saint for business people. But with every new beginning, be it a move or a new job, Ganesha should not be missing, as he blesses the new situation and promises luck.

Ganesha has four arms. They represent the four aspects of the subtle body: mind, ego, spirit and consciousness.
