Ganesha - Lover of Sweets vishnu As with other Hindu deities

As with other Hindu deities

This sculpture is a poignant representation of Gandhari

He is the seventh and one of the most popular avatars of Vishnu

with vigilant eyes scanning the surroundings

a problem so small that it eludes detection

Ganesha - Lover of Sweets vishnu As with other Hindu deitiesA sleek, modern Ganesha is highly recognisable with his elephant head and human body, representing the soul (atman) and the physical (maya). He is depicted in an innumerable variety of forms by artists. He is a patron of writers, travellers, students, and commerce, he removes obstacles blocking new projects and is fond of sweets, to the slight detriment of his figure. Seen here carrying a sweet snack in his left hand and right hand in abhaya mudra
