Description

A standing Ganesha cast in panchdhatu, the five-metal alloy used for temple bronzes. Hand-finished in Swamimalai, where the craft has passed through the same families for generations. The antique patina is applied by hand, so no two pieces darken alike.

Ritual & significance

Ganesha is invoked at the start of any new undertaking as the remover of obstacles. Placed facing the entrance of a home or at the east of a puja room, the seated form is traditional for household shrines.

Care

Wipe with a dry cotton cloth. For the antique finish, avoid metal polish and acidic cleaners — both strip the patina. An occasional touch of sesame oil on a soft cloth restores depth.
