Somyot Sawasdee creates the illusion of an antique sculpture of Lord Ganesha. Sitting legs crossed, Ganesha has his trunk in a bowl of his favorite dessert. The Thai artist finishes the recycled paper wall sculpture with green and gold paint, creating the illusion of an aged bronze piece. The sculpture features a hook on the back.

Son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha is known as a protector and remover of obstacles. The elephant-headed Hindu god is depicted in this awesome relief panel from Thailand. Somyot Sawasdee works with a passion for ecological preservation, handcrafting the relief of recycled paper with intricate patterns. A green finish completes this home decor accessory.

In hues of green and orange, Ganesha is portrayed in this expressionist composition that evokes traditional Indian folk art. Sunil Jaiswal works with a mix of watercolor, acrylic, and ink on handmade paper to offer this painting, depicting the "remover of obstacles" atop a lotus pad as he holds a symbol of peace in one hand and his favorite dessert, laddu, in the other.

The Hindu deity Ganesha sits with a tiny mouse on his foot. Thatsanee and Ramphan depict the young lord with the head of an elephant, son of Shiva and Parvati. Working in pale green celadon ceramic, they create a beautifully detailed image. Ganesha is invoked for any auspicious project. In Thailand, he is considered the angel of success where a prayer whispered in the mouse's ear will be brought to Ganesha for blessings.

As one of the most honored deities in the world, Ganesha answers the prayers of his devotees wherever they might be. India's Sunil Jaiswal draws inspiration from the god's magnificent spirit to create this acrylic and watercolor painting, depicting Ganesha in communion with the sun's energy. Fuchsia, brown and green hues bring each solar detail to life while adding a regal aura to the artwork.

Artist Sunil Jaiswal of India portrays the wise and powerful spirit of Ganesha in this sublime acrylic and watercolor painting of mystic allure. A palette of green, orange and brown hues merge in each classic detail that composes the graceful image of the god of arts and science, depicting him in a meditative pose that invites serenity to your spaces.

Part abstract painting, part illustration, Sunil Jaiswal's bright acrylic work gives you the best of both worlds. The Indian artist outlines the Hindu god Ganesha on the left, using slender linework to render the elephant-headed deity. On the left, a flurry of expressive green brushstrokes comes crashing in.

Over an idyllic backdrop of swirls and flowers, a young Ganesha finds himself in his gentle, loving mother Parvati's arms, mounted on a fierce wild cat. Depicted without perceived depth or space, Parvati and Ganesha emerge from the background with bold contrast and juxtaposition of textures. Utilizing plant-derived dyes that she discovered during her post-graduate studies, artist Bharti Dayal paints 'Ganesha & Parvati' to tell the story of her native India, incorporating solid color contours and layered floral motifs into both deity and wild cat.

In this painting, Parvati manifests as a devoted mother in the traditional human form, seemingly mortal in her portrayal, differing from competing incarnations in Indian society that often give her eight arms and royal symmetry. Ganesha's manifestation is unusual in that Dayal only gives him two arms, differing from the commonly accepted four. Together, Parvati, the Goddess of power, and Ganesha, the God of wisdom are successful in conveying the significance and spirit of Indian Hinduism.

"Madhubani paintings are in fact a simplistic manifestation of the philosophical heights achieved by Indian civilization for the universal power of love, longing and peace; the quest of all beings," Dayal says.

Lord Ganesha is the Thai deva of success. Devas are heavenly beings that often visit earth to help and protect humanity or serve as messengers for the gods.

The son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha is revered in the Hindu pantheon as the god of auspiciousness. He is portrayed with the head of an elephant, one tusk and four hands. Thatsanee and Ramphan craft the figure in celadon ceramic with its delightfully crackled glaze.

Ganesha, the benevolent god of arts and science, blesses your spaces with serenity and harmony from his sacred throne. Artisan Tulsi Dass of India works with talent and dedication in this aluminum sculpture, whose golden hue and antiqued finish enhance the regal image of the deity surrounded by leaves as a symbol of prosperity. The piece comes on a wood base, allowing a dapper display.

Designed by Tulsi Dass in India, this lovely lock and key set features a glorious Ganesha motif in vivid green. Indian artisans use brass to hand cast the set, engraving the lock with the elephant-headed deity. Accompanied by two keys, the fully functional set is finished with an antique green patina.
