Overview

This volume attempts to collate existing reference material on the subject, and offers valuable original insights into various aspects of Ganesh. The diversity of the benevolent God's representations is amply illustrated in the survey of the British Museum collection in London. An article on the Hindu Ganesh discusses his importance in Maharashtra where the annual festival is observed with fervour. Subsequent essays examine the iconography of the dancing Ganesh and the deity's place in Tantric literature and in the Buddhist and Jain traditions.
