The son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha is the Lord of success and destroyer of evils and obstacles. The elephant head denotes wisdom and its trunk represents Om, the sound symbol of cosmic reality. The axe that Ganesha holds in his upper right hand is a symbol of cutting off all attachments, and his lower right-hand gesture symbolizes his grace, blessings, and protection. His fan-like ears convey that he is all ears to our petition. And he is humble enough to ride the lowest of creatures, a mouse. Ganesha is the most beloved and worshiped of all gods in the Hindu pantheon. This wonderfully crafted cold-cast bronze statue measures 10.25 inches high, 8.25 inches long, and 6.875 inches wide, and depicts Ganesha seated while a rat stands at his feet.
