Ganesha মুদ্ৰা

गणेशगणेशગણેશபிள்ளையார்గణేశుడుಗಣೇಶগণেশഗണപതി

Ganesha is the elephant-headed figure associated with auspicious beginnings and the removal of obstacles. The Met’s introduction places him at the start of new ventures, a helpful way into the meaning of his image. Particular forms and observances deserve their own context; this profile does not prescribe one ritual sequence for every Hindu household.

A devotional account

Parvati, wanting someone of her own while Shiva was away, formed a boy from the turmeric paste of her body and gave him life, and set him to guard the door while she bathed. Shiva returned and the boy, who did not know him, refused him entry. Shiva, refused at his own door by a child he had never seen, struck off his head. Parvati's grief and rage were such that Shiva sent the ganas to bring the head of the first living thing they found facing north, and they returned with an elephant's, and it was joined to the body and the boy restored.

What the image shows

Elephant head, one tusk broken, large belly, four arms bearing a noose, a goad, a broken tusk and a bowl of modaks, with the trunk curving - and the direction it curves matters: the left-curving trunk is the common domestic form, while the right-curving Siddhi Vinayaka is held to be more demanding and is usually installed in temples rather than homes, a distinction many buyers do not know. The mouse is his vehicle and is always present, usually at his feet, sometimes shown eating a modak. Red and saffron dominate. Seated with one leg folded is the standard household pose; dancing Ganesha, reclining Ganesha and the Ashtavinayak forms are all distinct.

From a story to a keepsake

Start with the person receiving the gift and the story you want it to hold. A family reference, the exact name of a place or a short account of the occasion gives the enquiry a useful beginning. Include any preferred wording and say which details are essential. The finished artwork and presentation are agreed with you before production.

All curated orders are made to order, with a minimum of 20 pieces per design and weight. Coin preferences are 10g, 15g, 20g, 25g, 50g, 100g. Weight describes the metal quantity; dimensions, relief and finish are separate parts of the specification. An enquiry helps establish feasibility and does not reserve stock or confirm a delivery date.

The presentation can hold the words that do not fit on the object: who gave it, why the motif was chosen and which moment it remembers. We discuss the kit or box as part of the quote, with its price and tax shown separately from the coin. Custom artwork and other additional work is confirmed before you decide to proceed.

Check names, scripts and the proposed depiction with the people who know the intended context. A commercial commission does not establish a temple, religious body, artist or other institution’s approval. Where a different format would suit the recipient better, the enquiry can explore that too.
