The idol is hand-carved and is made of polished Natural Red Coral 6.60 Carats and 11.95mmx10.09mmx8.61mm. It shows Ganesha, the elephant god, who is honoured for his wisdom by both the Hindus and the Buddhists.
Ganesha is a magical figure and reflects the wisdom that is attributed to the elephant, the earthiness and serenity that are expressed through his fat belly and the agility that is expressed in his dance, a dance with which he keeps the earth moving. The god with the elephant head removes obstacles and is the patron saint of travelers.
