The beautiful velvet painting of Lord Ganesha is given a spectacular treatment with some sharp carvings. Lord Ganesha is one of the most-worshipped gods in Hinduism and He is worshipped before beginning any ritual. He is the lord of wisdom, intelligence, education, prudence, luck and fortune. He is the remover of obstacles, and as such it is normal to invoke him before the undertaking of any task with such incantations as Aum Shri Ganeshaya Namah (hail the name of Ganesha), or similar.
