| Wooden Ganesha Sculptures |
When one begins to look for the beloved Lord Ganesha in itihasa, the older of the two, which is Ramayana, yields no
result. One would expect the great Lord of auspicious beginnings to be invoked
during Rama's departure to the woods or Hanuman's to Lanka in the search for
Seeta, but it is not until the advent of Kaliyuga that the Ganesha cult
evolves. When Krishnadvaipayana Vyasa had the greatest of epics composed in his
mind, He turned to Lord Brahma in search of a scribe worth the task. It is upon
His suggestion that he meditated upon Ganesha to invoke Him to be his scribe.
Ganesha's condition was that his motions with the pen be not interrupted once
He begins; Vyasa's, that He not pen down anything without understanding it
first. With the sacred syllable of AUM etched at the beginning of the
manuscript, Ganesha thus began the writing of the Mahabharata.
Indeed, no other deity of the Hindu pantheon could have made
a better scribe for the greatest epic known to humankind. While His appearance
is not on par with the characteristic handsomeness of Indian deities, it is His
adorably boyish form that devotees love. His pot belly gives away His undying
love of laddoos (He is holding one at the tip of His trunk). His chubby limbs
are every ready to break into dance or to be raised in blessing. The innocent
elephant-head stands for all the gentleness and wisdom associated with the
mortal animal. This one-of-a-kind wood-cut sculpture of the Lord depicts Him in
the midst of a walk along divine pathways, with a kamandalu in one anterior
hand and an ornate parasol in the other. Lotuses about to bloom are in His
posterior hands. His befitting silks and shringar are matched by the glamour of
the Kirtimukha aureole that frames the composition and the grandeur of the
pedestal on which the same is placed.
