Ganesha ” is acrylic on canvas-based creation of Dharti Thanki. In portrait orientation with dimensions of 18″ X 24″(45.72cm X 60.96cm), It is a contemporary devotional painting of Lord Ganesha. Ganesha’s name derives from the Sanskrit roots ga (knowledge), na (salvation), and isha (Lord). Ganesha is easily recognized since he has an elephant-like head. Lord Ganesha is believed to pave the path through all the obstacles and bring success hence in many Indian houses Lord Ganesha is worshipped before beginning any new work. In this painting we can see the standing position of Lord Ganesha also known as Abhanga means “not bent” and as the name suggests, this posture symbolizes rigidity and the correct attitude. The artist has used various hues in order to show the glory of God.

Theme suitable for: the artist uses the color blue in the background as it relates to wisdom and steadiness. Moreover, the color blue also has a calming property. Looking at the painting I suggest this painting for the study room as it has a sense of calmness and wisdom too. It can also be used as office painting as Lord Ganesha is usually considered to bring in success.
