O soše
Instead of the usual four arms, Dancing Ganesha has six; the sculpture dates to about 1000 and is at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland. He copies Shiva’s dance while carrying a bowl containing sweet cakes and a radish in place of a flame. His name joins the words for lord and gana, the demonic dwarfs who form part of Shiva’s following. Their humorous imitations of Shiva’s movements inspire affection among his worshippers. On view in gallery 244.
