The beautiful stone figure of the Lord Ganesha is given a refine and detail touch with a deep sense of finesse and refinement. One of the most widely-worshipped deities in Hinduism, Lord Ganesha has the unique distinction that his name is always invoked first before any other Gods in any prayer service. Legend has it that Lord Ganesha received this distinction as a blessing from his parents, Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Lord Ganesha is the 'chief' of all of Lord Shiva's ganas (servers). Hence his name, Ganesha. Here his large body is made even bigger with his five heads and 10 arms. The Lord is seated on top of a large lion with exposed teeth and curled tail. The lion has an ample mane of hair around his neck. Four of the Lord's heads are facing in each direction with a smaller head on top of the four heads.
