Brass Ganesha On Lotus
₹999
Ganesha — Ganpati, Vighnaharta, the remover of obstacles — is the first deity invoked at every beginning. A Ganesh murti at the entrance or in the mandir is believed to clear the path ahead and welcome prosperity. Gharana’s Ganesha idols are hand-carved in marble and cast in brass, in seated, blessing and dancing poses, with the trunk, modak and mouse rendered to traditional iconography.
Worshipped first in any puja, Ganesha governs wisdom, auspicious beginnings and the removal of obstacles (vighna). His large ears signify deep listening, the broken tusk sacrifice, and the modak the sweetness of spiritual reward. A left-trunk idol is favoured for home peace; a right-trunk (siddhi) idol for intense sadhana.
A seated (lalitasana) Ganesha with the trunk tilted to his left is considered most auspicious for the home — it represents calm, prosperity and ease. White marble or brass in a 6–12 inch size suits most home mandirs.
Place Ganesha facing north, north-east or west, with the idol against an east/north wall. Avoid placing him facing south or directly facing a door from outside. Keep him with Riddhi-Siddhi or alongside Lakshmi for prosperity.
A left-curved trunk (Vamamukhi) is for household worship — peaceful and prosperity-giving. A right-curved trunk (Dakshinamukhi) is powerful and demands strict ritual discipline, so it is usually kept in temples, not homes.
