Dating to around 1746, this rare and refined work captures the deity in a moment of tender delight, relishing his cherished modaka (laddoo) sweets, with an iconographic precision drawn from the sacred texts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRendered entirely in a vivid crimson-red body and attired in a bright orange dhoti, Ganesha is crowned with a delicate tiara upon whose three points budding lotuses have been fixed. In his two right hands he holds a rosary (japamala) and a cup filled with three modakas-a fourth, substituted by his curving trunk, just about to be tasted-a charming detail that captures the god's famous love of sweets. In his two left hands he holds a large lotus blossom above and an axe (parashu) below, its handle resting against his shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis depiction draws directly from the Mudgala Purana, which recounts how Ganesha, in his form as Vighnaraja (Lord of Obstacles), confronted the demon of egotism, Mamasura. To vanquish this embodiment of pride, Ganesha cast his divine lotus at the demon-who, unable to bear the sublime fragrance of the sacred flower, surrendered entirely to the Lord. Thus the lotus in Ganesha's hand carries deep symbolic meaning, representing the power of divine grace to dissolve the ego.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFramed by an ornate scalloped arch adorned with delicate floral vines against a luminous green ground, this Basohli masterwork exemplifies the bold color, fine detailing, and spiritual charm of early Pahari painting. It offers a rare and beautifully preserved vision of the beloved Ganesha, cherished as the auspicious remover of obstacles and lord of new beginnings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMuseum-Grade Poster Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: Available in 18 × 24 inches and 16 × 24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper: 350 GSM archival matte paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrint Quality: High-resolution reproduction preserving the fine miniature linework, luminous mineral palette, and delicate ornamental detailing of the original Basohli painting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Non-glare museum matte finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal For: Devotees of Ganesha, collectors of Pahari and Basohli miniature art, home altar and puja spaces, entrances and thresholds, and admirers of classical Puranic iconography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA rare and jewel-like Basohli miniature-Lord Ganesha relishing his modaka upon a lotus throne, radiating auspicious charm and refined Pahari artistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder Now\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBring home Lord Ganesha with Modaka, a rare and exquisite Basohli miniature of the beloved remover of obstacles.
