Rajasthan, India has always been the seat of kings who have boasted a lavish lifestyle and are famous for their palaces and hand painted wooden artifacts. Inspirations for the designs come from palaces and the style that was in vogue when kings chose to mimic heavenly grandeur on earth! This beautiful Ganesh statue is hand-carved and hand-painted using the same traditional techniques. Painted in the shades of red, green, gold, white and black, this Ganesha makes a great Hindu gift for housewarmings, weddings and other festive celebrations. The Ganesh statue measures 6 inches high and 2.25 inches wide. Ganesha is the god of all beginnings. He's an all-powerful, all-encompassing deity; yet, his appeal to millions lies in his everydayness. He'll help you get through that tough situation and he'll see that you reach your destination safely. He'll also hear your prayers for the success of just about any enterprise. It's his benign approachability that attracts the many superlatives around his name.
