Beautiful wood Ganesha from India, lots of detail. Happy and kind-hearted, he aids all who call upon him. He is called Vighneshvara, the destroyer of obstacles. People often ask him for siddhi, success in undertakings, and buddhi, intelligence. He is worshipped before any venture is started. He is also the God of education, knowledge and wisdom, literature, and the fine arts.
