Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles. A new venture or an important event is usually started with the worship of God Ganesha. Presence of a Ganesh statue also helps us through tough situations and difficult days by serving as a reminder of our belief in Ganesha. Ganesha's upper right hand clasps an axe. This is the weapon he uses to remove impediments in our lives. In this Ganesh statue, Ganesha is shown holding an axe, noose, his broken tusk and sweets. Intricate detailing on this statue, a peaceful color scheme, size of 11 inches high and 6.5 inches wide, makes this Ganesha a great buy. Due to the handmade nature of the product minor scratches and defects are common and add to the artistic appeal of the statue.
