Light Brown Ganesh with Umbrella

Lord Ganesh is known by 108 names, given in relation to his appearance, nature, and charioteer. A unique combination of his elephant-like head and a quick moving tiny mouse vehicle represents tremendous wisdom, intelligence, and presence of mind. In Hinduism, Ganesha refers to the “lord of the hosts,” often referred to as Ganapati) – and is one of the most well-known and venerated representations of God (Brahman). The image of Ganesha is a composite one. Four animals, man, elephant, the serpent, and the mouse have contributed to the makeup of his figure. All of them individually and collectively have deep symbolic significance.
