Portrayal of Lord Ganesha in Bengal Pattachitra by Manoranjan Chitrakar

In the artwork, artist Manoranjan Chitrakar depicts Lord Ganesha in Bengal Pattachitra with pink skin, four hands, wearing a yellow dhoti, and a Mukut. While Ganesha is traditionally depicted with an elephant head and gray skin, the use of pink skin in Bengal Pattachitra is an artistic interpretation. The color signifies the creativity and artistic freedom of the Pattachitra artist. The yellow dhoti represents purity and knowledge. Yellow is also associated with the sun, which symbolizes illumination and the dispelling of darkness and ignorance. The crown, or Mukut, worn by Ganesha signifies his royal and divine status, representing authority, and emphasizing his role as a deity who can remove obstacles and bestow blessings. His presence is considered auspicious and essential at the start of any new endeavor.
