Information About Artwork

This captivating tempera painting on canvas portrays a unique depiction of Ganesha, the Hindu deity of wisdom and prosperity, blended with elements of Lord Shiva. Size: 24x20 inches (H/W). The deity is depicted in a seated posture, draped in a tiger-skin loincloth, a characteristic of Shiva. Ganesha's traditionally pink skin is rendered here in a delicate shade, contrasting with the vibrant blue of his upper body, reminiscent of Shiva's iconic blue hue. He holds Shiva's Trishul (trident) in one hand, a symbol of power and destruction, and a bowl of modaks, sweet dumplings, in the other, a traditional offering to Ganesha. A small rat, Ganesha's vahana (vehicle), nibbles from the offerings. The background is a rich, textured crimson, creating a dramatic backdrop. The artwork skillfully blends Hindu mythology and symbolism, making it a striking piece for art lovers and those interested in spiritual art.
