In the Hindu religion, Ganesha is the god of wit, wisdom and fortune. The remover of obstacles and the god of beginnings, his statue is found at the entrance to not only private houses but also businesses and temples. Each detail of the figure has a precise meaning: the big head represents wisdom, the belly represents patience, the unique prey symbolizes the idea of sacrifice and the little mouse at its base, in delightful detail, is the god’s mean of transportation.
