Modi Ganpati


Before beginning anything - being blessed by Ganpati or Ganesh - the God of Knowledge is mandatory in the Hindu culture. I therefore chose to paint a picture of Lord Ganesh Idol from the Modi Ganpati Mandir, Pune, India. This stone idol was found as it is - except the saffron color.
The trunk is on the right side, which makes the Idol more important and therefore rigorous daily routine is followed in the temple by the priest.
Don't forget to visit the temple when you are in Pune.
Modi Ganpati Mandir, Narayan Peth. Pune.
