Why Do We Love Ganesha Art?

  Screams of "Ganapati Bappa Morya" will rip the air in a day from now with their intense zeal and carry on for a dozen days after that. If you are a fervent follower of the civilized god, Ganesh Chaturthi would be your equivalent of the proverbial "Halcyon Days." But even if you are not a fervent supporter of the celebration, it is challenging to resist his allure. Ganesha art and its Indian artists are likely the only gods in the pantheon of Indian gods that is naturally cheeky and boyish. It will be difficult to find anything wrong with a God who values his "modak" above all else.

If you haven't guessed it by now, we adore our Ganesh. There are many reasons, but if we had to choose just a few, these would be.



Incarnate Saint Patron

The Hindu pantheon does not include patron saints or tutelary spirits, in contrast to Roman Catholicism. But if authors, poets, students, and anybody else involved in the literary world were required to pray to a deity on a significant occasion, Ganesh would undoubtedly be their first choice. Do you recall when you inscribed "Om Ganeshaya Namah" on your exam paper? You now understand the reason!

A Statement Of Life

Ganesha art is constantly a rainbow of hues. Red and white, which stand for passion and strength, are the colors most frequently used to represent him. Ganesha's art and idols exist in a variety of sizes, styles, and hues, but his vivacious and upbeat appearance is a testament to the joys and beauty of life itself.

Good Natured Yet Strong

He never stops grinning. He uses a rat as his "vehicle." Furthermore, he doesn't actually hold any WMDs in his hands. But make no mistake, despite his polite demeanor, this god is also incredibly strong. Consider his rat as an example. Do you know another animal that can effortlessly gnaw through any obstruction? Ganesh is known as the remover of hurdles for this reason. Arrogance, conceit, ignorance, and delusion can all be destroyed with the help of the three-twined noose he is holding in his hand. Power to you, devoted ones!

Fan of music

The most popular name for Ganesh among the 108 is "Nadapratithistha." It means "one who loves and appreciates music and the arts" rather literally. Before their performances, Indian dancers, singers, and stage performers always invoke Ganesh, pleading with him to keep watch over them and aid in their excellence. Additionally, Ganesh is frequently shown with a sitar or other musical instrument. Here's a God who enjoys himself immensely when he relieves people of their worries. a role model, really?

A Traveling Companion

Have you ever felt uncertain about what will happen next? The nagging anxiety that grips your heart whenever you begin something new also affects nearly everyone else. And our pantheon has picked Ganesh, a god of serenity and tranquility, to aid mortals in overcoming their unease. Therefore, don't forget to greet your protector and guide whenever you embark on a new journey (even if it's just a stroll down the road).

2 Vastu Rules to Follow While Placing Ganesha Art at Home

  1. The Ganpati Murti's color has great religious significance.

People who want to live happy, peaceful, and prosperous lives can think about putting an idol of a white Ganesha in their homes. Sticking images of the white Ganesha would also be beneficial. Similar to this, anyone hoping to grow personally should bring home a vermilion Ganesha. The Vastu system views this as fortunate.

2. The idol's position is symbolic.

An idol of Ganesha in the lalitasana, commonly known as the sitting position, is thought to be the best for worship within the confines of your house. According to Vaastu specialists, the sitting Ganesha symbolizes a cool, collected personality and fosters a tranquil atmosphere in the home. Ganesha in a reclining position represents riches, luxury, and ease. Get a Ganpati in the reclined position if that is what you want in life.
