Ganesha brass statues

Lord Ganesha (The elephant head god) is one of the most worshipped deities in Hindu mythology. Lord Ganesha is considered and worshipped as the Supreme Being and the god of beginnings throughout India and many other Asian countries

Ganesha is a popular figure in Indian art. Unlike those of some deities, representations of Ganesha show wide variations and distinct patterns changing over time. He may be portrayed standing, dancing, heroically taking action against demons, playing with his family as a boy, or sitting down on an elevated seat, or engaging in a range of contemporary situations.
Ganesha is referred to and depicted by many forms and names in Ganesha Tanjore paintings and other art forms by the patrons and devotees which have specific meaning for each in puranic scripts. Some of the names are Vinayaga, Ganapathy, Vigneshwara, Pillayar, Lambodara, Ekadanta, etc. . . . . each of these names has a significant meaning and a story of explanation behind them.

Lord Ganesha’s initial name was Ekadanta meaning single tusk. It can be seen that the elephant head god has only one tusk and holding the broken tusk in his hand. There are stories regarding this that the lord used his to win an asura and there is a story stating that he used it to write some parts of Mahabharata (Epic story) as dictated by the famous sage Vyasa.

Ganapathy means the leader of the group of celestial semi-divine beings known as ganas. Vigneshwara is the name that means the main ideology of Lord Ganesha (vignam = obstacles) as the remover of obstacles. Lambadora is meant on his pot belly and he holds the entire universe in his big pot belly.

Brass is an alloy combination of Copper and Zinc. It is a substitutional composite of both brass and brass incorporate little extents with different components of non-metal and metalloids.

Solid brass valuable properties and relative ease of production have made it one of the most widely used alloys. Artists value the metal’s aesthetic properties, as it can be produced in the range of colors from deep red to golden yellow. Its ability to retain strength when formed in desired shapes and forms makes it a preferred choice in casting.
