Manchester Museum is delighted to host the beautiful stone sculpture of Ganesha. Celebrating Ganesha is touring across several venues around the UK as part of the British Museum’s Partnership Spotlight Loans programme. The elephant-headed Ganesha is one of the most popular Hindu gods - the creator and remover of obstacles. Standing on a lotus pedestal, Ganesha is depicted with a lion mask above his head, snakes as anklets and his rat ‘vahana’, his vehicle, at his feet.
