Sculpture Information:

Standing Ganesha sculpture is located on the outer walls of the Siddheshwara Temple at Toka in Newasa, Maharashtra (India). The temple was built by Peshwas around 1767 in Hemadpanthi style.

Ganesha with two hands is not commonly depicted. This standing Ganesha has a pot of delicacy called Modak in his left hand. He is enjoying the sweets with his trunk.

His right hand is carrying his broken tusk. He is wearing a simple dhoti.

Mushaka, the mouse, is the mount of the god and is standing near the god’s feet with folded hands.

This human-kind form of Ganesha looks adorable with its simplicity.
