Himalayan Vighnaharta Ganesh Statue | Lord of Wisdom
Vighnaharta Ganesh Statue stands at 12.2 inches (31 cm) in height with a base width of 10.6 inches (27 cm), and weighs 3.43 kilograms. Made from a copper body, it is adorned with 24K gold gilding, detailed gold and acrylic paintings, and embellished with hand-set gemstones that enhance its divine appearance. Lord Ganesha, known as the remover of obstacles and the deity of wisdom, intellect, and new beginnings, is revered in Hindu tradition and worshipped before the commencement of any auspicious task. This statue, handcrafted in Nepal by skilled artisans, is ideal for home altars, meditation spaces, or as a spiritual décor piece, symbolizing blessings, prosperity, and protection.
With its expressive elephant head and watchful eyes, this statue of Ganesha represents intelligence, wisdom, and a willingness to help followers. The work and sacrifice necessary for spiritual development are reflected in the curving tusks, including the symbolic broken one. He is shown seated in a dynamic posture (lalitasana) within a decorative aureole or prabhavali (the flame-like ring surrounding him). The ornate, flame-like golden aureole surrounding Ganesh symbolizes divine energy and the cosmic fire. The central marking on his forehead represents spiritual wisdom and the third eye of enlightenment. His hands typically hold various symbolic items, though they appear to be in blessing gestures in this image.

The Hindu deity Ganesha is represented by the highly respected Four-Armed Ganesha, also called Chaturbhuja Ganesha, who stands for intellect, wisdom, and the elimination of obstacles. His four arms are filled with several objects: a bowl of sweets symbolizing the sweetness of spiritual satisfaction; a broken tusk, or modaka, marking the rewards of wisdom; a noose, to capture and control challenges; and a goad, to propel forward and remove impediments. Every object highlights a different facet of his heavenly essence. Many people draw and worship this version of Ganesha in hopes of receiving advice and benefits. He is the embodiment of the many functions of an opportunist, a leader, and a giver of blessings.
