Vibrant colors fill this freehand image of Ganesha, the elephant-headed Hindu deity known as the remover of obstacles. Holding symbols of peace, power, and love in his four hands, Ganesha assumes his traditional posture, known as abghanga, with one foot touching the ground. Indian artist Shruti Mishra creates this Madhubani painting, depicting Ganesha with intricate detail, and surrounding him with colorful leafy vines and a border of floral motifs. Originating in Mithila, Madhubani paintings strive to show a perfect harmony in the natural world.
