In this beautiful miniature statue, Lord Ganesha is shown seated revealing a deep sense of gravity and satisfaction. One of the most popular Hindu deities, Lord Ganesha is also known as the Remover of Obstacles as he creates obstacles when our time is bad and removes the same when time turns good. Some sublime designs mark the spectacular figure. His figure is seen almost every where--- in a temple, in an office, in a shop, or to be precise in any public places. His figure is placed at the entry point of any office or other building. The Lord of Good Luck blesses us with luck, wisdom, success and wealth and removes obstacles on our path.

Whenever prayers are rendered, hymns and verses in Lord Ganesha is invoked first. Any important occasion be it a childs first birthday, a new business venture, entry into a new house, beginning of a movie shooteverything is started with a prayer to Lord Ganesha.
