{"product_id":"emerald-harmony-ganesha-idol","title":"Green Aventurine Four-Armed Seated Ganesha","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Four-Armed Seated Ganesha is an exquisite example of the sacred Hindu god intricately carved out of an intensely vibrant Green Aventurine stone known for its uniqueness in having many different shades of deep forest green with numerous natural ‘shimmers’ from tiny mineral inclusions. Many people admire this variety of quartz because it has an extensive history as a 'stone of prosperity, comfort, and good fortune’ and therefore matches the characteristics of Ganesha who represents success and new beginnings. This large piece also offers a striking focal point when used as part of an altar or shrine at home .\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis figure shows him seated in a traditional meditative pose on a circular base with a decorative border. Often times, he will have either two or four arms representing his divine ability to offer blessings from multiple directions; in this case, he has all four arms. The hands are holding the traditional symbols (the laddoo [the sweet] in one hand, the ankusha [or goad] between two others and one open hand raised in an “abhaya mudra,” or hands raised in a gesture of fearlessness). There are a great many intricate details in this carving, such as the very detailed headdress that includes a crown of flowers, elaborate necklace, and ornamental sash draped over Ganesha's belly. The natural shine and polish of the stone reflect the exceptional craftsmanship used to create this piece that has turned a heavy opaque Green Aventurine stone into an inspiring and auspicious piece of decorative art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Casa Mandala ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46210948825263,"sku":"VSP-256","price":27000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8851\/9855\/files\/278_Compressed.jpg?v=1762759499","url":"https:\/\/www.thecasamandala.com\/products\/emerald-harmony-ganesha-idol","provider":"Casa Mandala ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
