Music is one of the important branches of Indian culture ever since Vedic times. The exquisitely carved Ganesha playing the wired-instrument Veena is reviving and pleasant. It is a work of art that shows the stature of the rare Lord Ganesha that has never been seen before. He is fully enraptured playing on his ‘veena’, an extraordinarily luxurious and melodious element played by Goddess Saraswati. He has been depicted as fully stretched across a rectangular, richly cushioned mattress, his legs folded backwards and thrown to the left, and his 'veena' balanced over them. The mix of bright areas and black lines outlining them, and the form that these depict, gives the statue, paisley and plaid appearance. This four-armed, chaturbhuj deity brass image has been cast as spreading on a wide rectangular seat that looks like a cushioned mattress.Lord Ganesha is not clutching any of his more accustomed accoutrements, such as an elephant goad, battle-axe, or his favourite modak but only a conch, which is not his trademark attribute. He holds the 'veena' over his legs and performs a celestial and angelic melody with his customary two hands.He is dressed in an extravagantly ornamented and elegantly metallic gold pleated dhoti that is longer than normal. Its extra extensiveness with overflowing rich border distributed on the seat is particularly exquisite. Furthermore, he is carrying a look that is quite rare even in the well-known 32 different forms of Ganesha. He is draped in a gorgeous girdle around his shoulders and upper arms, as well as sophisticated jewellery around his neck, arms, and wrists that make his demeanour look enthralling. Ganesha is the personification of wisdom, intelligence and the master of the art. Our workers handcraft this beautiful brass figurine in their own time. Ganesh, the Lord of New Beginnings, would appear captivating and grand in music establishments.
