Ganesha as a musician
 
  • Printer-friendly version

Ganesha statues sometimes show him playing a musical instrument - a drum, a mridangam or tabalas, or the veena etc. Usually at the beginning of concerts, Indian musicians dedicate a short invocation to Ganesha so this could be a reason for such inspirations.

1. A plastic moulded Ganesha (approximately 70mm in height) holding a sitar. The form of Ganesha is large, and has a soft benevolent look. Since he is portrayed as a musician, the sitar is highlighted with gold colour.

    2. Ganesha depicted as musicians playing different instruments. The decorative pieces are approximately 60mm in height and moulded in plastic. The features and the elements of the Ganesha faced musicians are similar to normal people.
