The beautiful brass image of Lord Ganesha seated on a lotus is nicely carved out with a deep sense of finesse and accomplishment. One of the most widely worshipped deities in Hindusim, Lord Ganesha is invoked first before beginning any rituals. He is the Lord of Lords and the Remover of Obstacles. The popularity of this deity can be measured by the fact that he is known by as many as 108 names. There are two different stories about Ganesha's birth. According to the first story, Parvati created Ganesha out of dirt off her body while having a bath and set him to guard her door while she finishes her bath. Her husband Shiva who had moved out came back at that time, but as Ganesha didn't know Shiva, stopped him from entering. Shiva got angry and a fierce battle ensued between the two. Shiva severed the head of Ganesha. Parvati was enraged and Shiva promised Ganesha will live again. The devas, who went in search of a head facing north of a dead person could manage only the head of an elephant. Shiva fixed the elephant's head on the child and brought him back to life.
As per the other legend, Ganesha was created by Shiva and Parvati on request of the Devas, to be a vighnakartaa (obstacle-creator) in the path of rakshasas (demonic beings), and a vighnahartaa (obstacle-averter) to help the Devas.

The beautiful figure of Chenrezig Lokeshvara is nicely carved out of brass in a most intricate manner. Avalokiteśvara in Sanskrit, "Lord who looks down" and is a bodhisattva who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas. This bodhisattva is variably depicted and described and is portrayed in different cultures as either female or male. In Chinese Buddhism, Avalokiteśvara has become the somewhat different female figure Guanyin. In Cambodia, he appears as Lokeśvara.
Chenrezig is known as the embodiment of the compassion of all the Buddhas, the Bodhisattva of Compassion in the Tibetan Buddhist pantheon of enlightened beings. Avalokiteshvara is the earthly manifestation of the self-born, eternal Buddha, Amitabha. He guards this world in the interval between the historical Sakyamuni Buddha, and the next Buddha of the Future Maitreya.
Legends say that once Chenrezig made a vow that he would not rest until he had liberated all the beings in all the realms of suffering. After working diligently at this task for a very long time, he realized the immense number of miserable beings yet to be saved. Seeing this, he became despondent and his head split into thousands of pieces. Amitabha Buddha put the pieces back together as a body with very many arms and many heads, so that Chenrezig could work with myriad beings all at the same time. Sometimes Chenrezig is visualized with eleven heads, and a thousand arms fanned out around him.
Chenrezig is known by different names in different lands: as Avalokiteshvara in the ancient Sanskrit language of India, as Kuan-yin in China, as Kannon in Japan. As Chenrezig, he is considered the patron Bodhisattva of Tibet, and his meditation is practiced in all the great lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. The beloved king Songtsen Gampo was believed to be an emanation of Chenrezig, and some of the most respected meditation masters (lamas), like the Dalai Lamas and Karmapas, who are considered living Buddhas, are also believed to be emanations of Chenrezig.

According to the Charaka Samhita, the knowledge of Ayurveda is eternal and is revealed in each of the cycles of creation of the universe. Lord Vishnu incarnates as Lord Dhanvantari and reestablishes the tradition of Ayurveda in the world to help relieve some of humanity’s suffering.
Lord Dhanvantari is also known as the father of Ayurveda as he was the first divine incarnation to impart its wisdom amongst humans. Lord Dhanvantari first appeared during the great churning of the cosmic ocean of milk (Samudra manthan) to deliver amrit (ambrosia, or Divine nectar) to the demigods.
The churning of the ocean of milk constitutes a well-known episode in the Puranas. This episode reminds us about our spiritual endeavor to attain self-realization through concentration of mind, withdrawal of the senses, control of all desires, austerities and asceticism. This endeavor is celebrated every twelve years in the holy festival known as Kumbha Mela.
There is an interesting story is related in the Srimad Bhagavatam.
Using the mountain Mandara as the rod and Vasuki the serpent as the cord, both demigods and demons proceeded to churn the ocean of milk. All kinds of herbs were cast into it. The churning was so arduous that Lord Vishnu had to appear in many forms to help them with this process and prevent it from going nowhere.
The churning of the ocean of milk first produced a deadly poison (halahala) that only Lord Shiva could swallow. And so he did, except that his consort Parvati pressed his neck as he was swallowing, so that the poison would not reach his stomach, and the halahala stayed in Lord Shiva’s throat, changing the colour of his neck to blue due to its potency. This is why Lord Shiva is also called Neelakantha, or the blue-necked one.
During the churning, many Divine objects and beings emerged from the ocean, including Kamadhenu (the wish fulfilling cow), Ucchaisrava (the white horse), Airavata (the white elephant), Kaustubhamani (a rare diamond), Kalpavriksha (the wish fulfilling tree), and Shri Laxmi, the Goddess of Wealth, who after being worshipped by all Gods, demigods, asuras and everyone else present, was reunited with her husband Lord Vishnu after having been separated for many ages.
As the churning continued, Lord Dhanvantari appeared. A young and well-built, his chest was very broad and his complexion bluish black. With strong arms, reddish eyes, he moved like a lion. He was clad in bright yellow, his curly hair was anointed with oil and he wore shining earrings made of pearl. As he emerged, he was holding a conch, leeches, healing herbs, a chakra (one of the divine weapons of Lord Vishnu’s), and the long sought pot of ambrosia, for which he is also called Sudha Pani (“carrying nectar”). The asuras, greedy after all things, realized right away that the container was full of nectar and snatched it from him. The demons started quarreling about which of them would drink the nectar first, grabbing the pot from one another and behaving like rogues. Taking advantages of the unruly behavior of the demons, Lord Vishnu appeared as Mohini, a beautiful woman to fascinate them and soon recovered the nectar from them. The Lord then distributed the nectar only amongst the demigods.
After drinking the nectar, they were invigorated with energy and defeated the demons.
Lord Vishnu predicted that Lord Dhanvantari would appear again in the world to teach men the science of Ayurveda.
The scriptures say that “One who remembers the name of Dhanvantari can be released from all disease.” Lord Dhanvantari is worshipped all over India as the God of Medicine. Even today, two days before Diwali, people worship Lord Dhanvantari. At dusk, a lamp pointing toward North by North-East is lit at the doorstep of the house to welcome Lord Dhanvantari for health and happiness in life. This day is known as Dhanteras (or Dhanwantari Triodasi, or Dhantrayodashi).
