Dark Cherry Finish Ganesh Statue on Throne
The legend goes that Goddess Parvati created a small figurine out of sandalwood paste and made it come to life. She was going to have a bath and asked the boy to guard the place. When Lord Siva came home, the little boy promptly stopped him from entering the bathing area. An enraged Siva, not knowing that the handsome child before him was his son, lopped off Ganesha's head for daring to forbid him access to his wife, Parvati. Parvati ordered that the boy be brought back to life lest she destroy the world with her powers. To appease the grieving mother, Lord Siva deputed his 'Ganas' (let's say, his team) to fetch the head of any living being with its head facing north; they come back with the head of an elephant. That's how Lord Ganesha is supposed to have got his head and his name (Lord of the Ganas, Ganapati). The Ganesh statue is made of fiber with an intricate detail in dark cherry finish. The statue measures 13 inches in height and 9 inches in width.
