Happy Ganesh Chaturthi

15 September 2007 8 Comments

That image is from a site in Roundwood, Co. Wicklow, Ireland. The caption to it says: “When Hindu Lord Ganesh came to Ireland he decided to go native, as indeed, he had done when he went to China and Japan. He is accompanied by his servant, the rat, the latter playing the bodran and enjoying a pint of Guinness. The sculpture is 6′4″ high and weighs approx. 4 tonnes.”

Have a pint and enjoy Ganesh Chaturthi. More images from the site below the fold.

Ganesh the bookworm. He is the god of learning and wisdom. Naturally he likes to read books.

Here’s the dude playing the tablas.

He’s versatile. Now he is on the veena.

Now only in this last image do I see his mount, the rat, relaxing in a laid back attitude. In all the others, the rat is absent. Anyway, that’s it for Mr Vinayaka. All images stolen from here. Also check out last year’s entry on Ganesh Chaturthi.

    Irish Ganesha does have droppy eyes. I think he already emptied a few pints :)
