Tikuli Ganesha Painting by Ashok Kumar

Ashok Kumar paints a lovely image of Ganesha in this Tikuli art. Ganesha is the hindu elephant deity who is the patron of arts & knowledge and is worshipped as the Remover of Obstacles before any new enterprise. His big elephant head is symbolic of wisdom and intellect to attain perfection in life and transcending to spiritual attainment. His four hands in cardinal directions, represent four inner attributes of the body – Manas, Buddhi, Ahamkara and Chitta. He himself stands for ultimate consciousness of the soul.
