Elephant-headed, Ganesha is a mystifying, even comic figure to the uninitiated. In one of the forms, Nrttya Ganapati, he is the dancing god who is depicted in a dancing pose. In this fiber statue, the dancing Ganesha is shown holding Modak, a sweet dumpling that he is popularly believed to be excessively fond of. Metaphorically speaking, the delicacy is a symbol of the sweet rewards that true devotion brings. The dancing Ganesh statue measures 15 inches high, and is made of fiber. Lighweight and handmade. Minor variations add to the artistic appeal of the statue.
