His body is further embellished with regal jewelry, encompassing bracelets, armlets, and necklaces.
The sculpt showcases eight hands, each holding a unique and symbolic item. The trident he holds is emblematic of the power of Lord Shiva, reflecting the triad of creation, preservation, and destruction. The noose and goad (ankusha) are tools for guiding souls and removing obstacles, respectively. The bell, with its resonant sound, evokes the primordial AUM, a spiritual call to the universe. Instead of the modak, Ganesha is seen holding a pomegranate fruit, symbolizing fertility, abundance, and life’s rewards. The broken tusk recounts a legend of sacrifice and the quest for knowledge, while the sword stands as a beacon against ignorance. Each item collectively paints a picture of Ganesha’s multifaceted nature and divine attributes.
