Statue of Ganesh Sitting in Bronze 20cm. Asian crafts.

The God Ganesh and his attributes

Among Hindus, Ganesh is considered the "lucky charm" god, he can be found on every street corner: shops, restaurants, and even on tuk-tuk!

He is traditionally depicted with a plump child's body, usually with four arms and an elephant's head. Each of his hands holds an object with a very specific meaning.

The attributes of Ganesh most often represented are:

• the ax, the tefiche weapon of his father Shiva. It destroys desire and attachment and removes agitation and grief.
• The slip knot, which is used to catch the error.
• The elephant sting , which symbolizes his mastery over the world.
• The mala: a rosary with 50 elements, which are the 50 letters of the Sanskrit alphabet, because Ganesh is the god of education and knowledge.
• A cake or a bowl of goodies: the reward for those who seek the truth.
