Known as the Remover of Obstacles and worshipped for auspicious beginnings, Ganesha is a beloved Hindu deity. Regardless of his elephant head, multiple arms, jewelry, and plump figure, his character is clever and his body remarkably agile, as demonstrated by his dancing steps in the present example. Like the other Hindu gods, Ganesha manifests a variety of appearances, always recognizable by his elephant head. This remarkable Ganesha has ten arms rather than his usual six or eight, indicating an increased cosmic status. Visually his multiple arms enhance the dynamism of his rhythmic dance.
