Ganesha as a Musician
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 inspiration.
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 is depicted as a musician 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.
3. A brass Ganesha made in the Bastar style in a seated posture and reading a book (approximately 40mm in height). This is a handcrafted piece used for decorative purposes or for gifting.
