The thangka looks even more beautiful in person. The thangka arrived earlier than I expected and it was packaged very well. The seller answered all my questions promptly and kept me up to date with shipping details ect. I highly recommend buying from this seller and I look forward to purchasing paintings from them in the future. Thank you RitualThanka!

Original Hand painted Newari Style Ganesh Thangka:
This very unique work of art has many aspects to it. One of our curator's favorite paintings - this Ganesha's composition is very original and attractive.
This is a Newari-style thangka of Ganesh who is one of the most popular guardian deities worshipped by Hindus and Buddhists alike. Ganesh is said to be the eliminator of obstacles and is worshipped daily by all. Ganesh, the elephant-headed god of wisdom and success is the defender and remover of obstacles and has to be propitiated first before worshipping any other gods. Being one of the sons of Shiva he bestows success in any form of work. His elephant head has only one full tusk and the other was broken during a battle with the demons. He rides on a mouse which is also his transportation vehicle. In his right hand, he carries a mala or a set of beads in a string of thread and a laddu i.e. sweet ball.
