Bedecked in ornate jewelry, Ganesha, the deity with the head of an elephant, lifts his trunk in greeting. Working in the traditional Madhubani style, Vidushini paints the regal image freehand on handmade paper. The auspicious god is the son of Shiva and Parvati, two of the most powerful gods in Hindu belief. Ganesha can control the occult forces that bring disaster upon mankind.
