Ganesha, the Hindu God of wisdom, elephant headed and potbellied, is widely revered by Hindus the world over. He is the legendary scribe who wrote the epic Mahabharata as the sage Ved Vyasa dictated it. It is customary to pray to him before starting anything new dealing with reading and writing. In this journal of handmade paper from India, you see a colorful Ganesha on a calligraphic Kraft paper background. The handmade paper book measures 6 x 8 inches. Great as a gift!
