A deep sense of devotion and piety is manifest in the beautiful soft stone figure of Lord Ganesha, one of the most popular gods in Hinduism. The figure is nicely cut with some exquisite carvings on it. The Lord is the Remover of Obstacles and he is one of the most benevolent gods in Hinduism. The son of Lord Shiva and Parvati is also known as Agra Ganya (One who is reckoned with first) among gods because He is the remover of obstacles.
