The beautiful red soft stone figure of Lord Ganesha, son of Lord Shiva and Parvati, is exquisitely carved out with some greater degree of perfection and finesse. The Remover of Obstacles is also known as Agra Ganya (One who is reckoned with first) among gods because He removes obstacles from our path. Lord Ganesha is also one of the most benevolent gods in Hinduism and could be easily propitiated.
