Religious & Spiritual Statue

Features

• Thoughdanceis the inherent idiom of the being of his figure and spirit, even his seated forms revealing its one form or other, however mild and undefined, the classical tradition has identified one of his manifestations as dancing Ganesha, a form that reveals the total dance a manifestation of dance as is this statue. He dances fully absorbed with his body and soul, the entire being and every limb involved for bliss and good, not to destroy like his father Siva, for subduing like Vishnu or to annihilate like kale. With his right foot flung into the air, and left, lifted three-fourth, the blissful Ganesha is dancing fully absorbed. In contrast to his right leg, his upper left arm is flung into the air creating great visual effects. Correspondingly, not only his pot belly has moved to the left but the pressure mounted on its right has given forth along the navel also a deep fold. Fully absorbed and in absolute bliss, his head has tilted a little to right. Except for a little part of the left foot planted on the pedestal, and the right, held on tiny support, the entire image stands on the pedestal without support.
• The artist has infused into his entire form, legs, feet, and arms, in particular, great vigor, tremendous energy, and the beauty of movement bursting from every part of his figure. In context to Ganesha dance is the ultimate sublimation of movement which his form attains in its cessation and in absolute poise. As in this statue, on the elephant gods face ecstasy ultimate of dance: the apex of movement, is absolute, and strangely as absolute is its cessation, a poise. As a matter of fact, it is in its cessation that the dance of Ganesha attains its ultimate bliss, its ecstasy. The exaltation of ecstasy that the form of the elephant god attains in cessation of movement is the essence of dancing Ganesha. In a bhava-Vibhora blissfully absorbed state of his being movement ceases and stillness prevails but this stillness is also the ultimate sublimation of his movement the energy crystallized. Not just movement or its pace the divine composure of his face defines his Nritya Ganapati image.
