It is the most calming color. Silver symbolizes encouragement and removal of negativity, says Priti Parikh of her composition. She paints with acrylics to capture the positive energy of he who is also known as the Lord of Knowledge. Ganesha has a human body and an elephant's head, and in this modern portrait he has a red tilaka on the forehead. According to Hindu lore, the center of the forehead is the most important psychic location in the human body, for it is where the sixth chakra is believed to be located.
