Ganesha Figurine, Indian God Elephant, Asian Goods, Dream-Fulfilling Elephant Ganesha Statue [DLAVE]

This is a figurine of the wildly popular Ganesha (gaṇeśa), the "dream-granting elephant." Ganesha, whose name means "Lord (īsha) of the Crowds (gana)" in Sanskrit, is a Hindu deity imbued with global popularity and widespread worship. Many people use Ganesha not only as an Asian accessory, but also as a decorative piece for their home, as he is said to remove obstacles and lead to success. He is also considered the god of good fortune, bringing prosperity to business, the god of arts and culture, the god of learning, and the god of medicine, bringing relief from illness. He is also considered an all-powerful god, possessing complete control over all things. As seen in the [Dream-Fulfilling Elephant], some people display Ganesha in their rooms as a money-luck charm to bring good fortune. However, some people also place Ganesha next to their desks as part of exam preparation, not only praying for academic success but also bringing peace of mind knowing that the god is watching over them. It's said that Ganesha is worshipped as the god of learning because Vyasa, the author of the Indian sacred text "Mahabharata," was unable to write, and so Brahma, one of the three great gods, sent Ganesha to record his words in his place. He broke off his right tusk and wrote with it. That's why Ganesha still only has one tusk. Size: Approx. 10.5cm high, 10cm wide, 8.5cm deep, Weight: Approx. 158g, Material: Sand and stone
