"According to our Hindu traditions, every auspicious occasion starts with an offering and a prayer to lord Ganesha. So, whenever I start a new project or when I have an exam, I always remember him," explains Tanisha from India. Painting with acrylics, she depicts the much beloved deity with Om on his right palm and a trishul on his forehead. It symbolizes Shiva, Ganesha's father. On his left hand Ganesha is holding his favorite desert.
