Ganesh idol

A Ganesh idol is a sculpted figure representing Lord Ganesha, a prominent deity in Hinduism known as the remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom and new beginnings. Typically, the idol depicts Ganesha with an elephant head, a large belly, and multiple arms holding various symbolic items. Revered during festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi, the idol is crafted from materials such as clay or plaster and installed in homes or public spaces. Devotees worship the idol through rituals, prayers, and offerings, believing it brings prosperity, success, and spiritual blessings. After the festivities, the idol is immersed in water as part of a renewal ritual.
