Ganesh, the most popular god in the Hindu pantheon, is worshipped by Hindus, Buddhists and Jainists alike. The elephant headed god appears in India before even Shiva, and is a bringer of good fortune and wisdom, a remover of obstacles who is called upon at the beginning of a journey or a new venture. He is also the protector of knowledge, books and education. This sturdy, ebullient bronze is in the traditional form of the god with his great belly symbolizing the expansive universe, around which he wears a snake as a girdle as he dances atop a lotus holding a sweet (modaka) to symbolize the sweetness of the realized inner self. In the hands behind him he holds the ankusha (elephant goad) and the pasha (noose) to convey that worldly attachments and desires are an entrapment.
