Take me home.....to where I belong!!

Lord Ganesha finally arrives. The festival of the elephant God is just round the corner. And this artist is busy giving finishing touches to his work.



This Ganpati waits to be taken home. The elephant God is said to bring good luck to all his worshipers. The elephant-head of Ganesha is a symbol of intelligence, discrimination, and wisdom. The elephant is ever alert and eminently conscious of its surroundings. Its memory is strong and deep. It trends through thick forest imprinting huge foot marks on the track. One such print can subsume the marks left by other animals, both wild and tame. It moves majestically through. It is a path maker, helping others without being aware of it, because it is its nature. Ganesha guides. He is the Lord of obstacles, causing them when needed and also helping men to over come them.
