Ganesha : Through The Ages

Lord Ganesha is omnipotent and omnipresent. Paying obeisance to him clears all hurdles from the devoted path. The elephant-headed Lord of prosperity and illumination miraculously removes all obstacles, material or spiritual.

It is no wonder that he is the most worshipped deity of the Hindu pantheon. The pulsating festivals in his honour are an inextricable part of Maharashtra cultural life. People, irrespective of their social standing, bow down to him and seek his grace.

ganesha’s rotund belly with curved elephant trunk resting on it, has provided infinite creative possibilities to artists, sculptures and painters. His endearing roly-poly form not only makes him a favourite of his mother M A Parvati, but also a cherished possession of collectors and art connoisseurs. Dr Prakash Kothari, the world –renowned Professor of sexual medicine from Mumbai, India has been a passionate collector of Ganesha in his myriad forms and evocations.

Dr kothari’s treasure trove has been lovingly amassed over decades and ranges from what is arguably the world’s oldest terracotta from the Satavahanas era to the spiffiest space age avatar of the God.
