Lord Ganesha has been an integral part of many lives. People pray and worship him all over the world. But what really fascinates me is his extreme cuteness and distinguished aura. He is The God who believes in indulgence be it his passion for "Motichoor Laddoo" or his colourful attire. He has his chauffeur "Mushak" (Mouse) who is at his service all the time. His exuberant personality has universal appeal and connects to people from every strata and religion. Undoubtedly Lord Ganesha is for one and for all.
I look forward to Ganesh Chaturthi every year as the atmosphere in Mumbai, especially, is one of extreme exuberance. The city displays ultimate devotion, joy and peace during the ten days of "Ganesha Mahotsav" every year which is simply inexplicable in words. You gotto see and feel it to believe it!
My painting is one way of dedicating my love and devotion to Lord Ganesha. The Ekdant Ganpati has ofcourse mythological stories behind it. Some of them believe that Ganesha lost his one tooth when Parashurama threw axe angrily on him while Ganesha was preventing him to awaken Lord Shiva who was asleep. There are others who believe that while Lord Ganesha was penning the great epic Mahabharata, the tip of the quill broke and he immediately broke half of his tusk and dipped in ink to continue writing.

My first art work display begins with Lord Ganesha. The blue form of Ekdant Ganpati is the meditative form which signifies following one goal in life to achieve peace, success and happiness.
