Description
The popular elephant-headed god Ganesha is Parvati’s son. One of the most popular gods in Hinduism today, he is associated with good luck and wisdom.
The Birth of Ganesha. Shiva’s wife, Parvati, produced Ganesha—and did so without any help from Shiva, according to many accounts. Some say that Shiva, being immortal, had no desire for a son, but Parvati wanted a child and produced the boy from her own body. In other versions, Shiva gave Parvati a doll that at her touch magically came to life as a baby.
According to one story, Shiva struck off the boy’s head, either because Ganesha prevented him from approaching Parvati or because Shiva believed that his son was doomed to die. Parvati’s grief, however, moved him to try to replace the head, and he finally succeeded in attaching an elephant’s head to the boy’s body.
The hand carved & wooden painted face mask of Ganesha is perfect for any house. We offer two sizes small & Medium. There is one small hole on the back of the wall hanging.
