This magnificent hand-carved lava stone wall relief showcases Lord Ganesh seated regally on his vehicle, Mooshika, with his trunk curling to the left in a meditative pose. In his hands, Ganesh holds a mala (prayer beads) and a vessel, symbols of devotion and divine nourishment. The scene is framed by two yali faces in the top corners, mythical lion-like creatures that symbolize protection and strength. Above Ganesh looms the fierce face of Mahakala, the guardian deity, offering protection and power.
Ganesh is flanked by three attendants on either side, each depicted with intricate detail and reverence. On the left, one attendant kneels in deep devotion, while another stands with hands clasped in prayer. The third figure, standing taller, holds a ceremonial fan in a gesture of service to the deity. To the right, a similar trio mirrors this scene, with one attendant kneeling in offering, another holding a tray filled with offerings, and the last standing with a fan, completing the symmetrically balanced composition. The attendants� postures reflect their humble service and devotion to Lord Ganesh, creating a serene and sacred atmosphere.
The top corners of the relief are adorned with yali faces, traditional guardians that serve to protect sacred spaces from evil forces. The arch above Ganesh is crowned by the fierce yet benevolent face of Mahakala, further emphasizing the protective and auspicious nature of the scene. This exquisite relief, carved from individual blocks of lava stone, brings together the divine presence of Ganesh, the protective symbolism of the yalis and Mahakala, and the devotion of the attendants in a stunningly balanced composition. It is perfect for any spiritual setting, temple, or cultural installation, making a grand statement with its intricate craftsmanship and powerful imagery.

"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change."
~ Buddha~
The Buddha, whose original name was Siddhartha Gautama, was the founder of Buddhism, the religion and the philosophical system that produced a great culture throughout much of southern and eastern Asia. Buddha, meaning "awakened one" or "enlightened one" is a title not a name. In Hindu Dogma, the Buddha is viewed as being the 9th avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu.~ Buddha~
The Buddha was a son of the rulers Sakyas. He was married at the age of 16 and lived in luxury and comfort sheltered from the harsh realities of life. When he was 29 he realized that men are subject to old age, sickness and death. He became aware of the suffering inherent in existence. He resolved to give up princely life and become a wandering ascetic (samana) in search for the Truth.
With the two of samanas he attained mystical states of elevated consciousness but he failed to find the Truth. He continued his search and was joined by five ascetics in a grove near Uruvela, where he practiced sever austerities and self-mortification for six years. When he fainted away in weakness, he abandoned ascetic practices to seek his own path to Enlightenment. Discarding the teachings of his contemporaries, through meditation he achieved Enlightenment, or ultimate understanding. There after the Buddha instructed his followers in the dharma (truth) and the "Middle Way" a path between worldly life and extremes of self-denial.
The essence of the Buddha's early preaching was said to be the four Noble truths: 1) life is fundamentally disappointment and suffering. 2) suffering is a result of one's desires for pleasure, power, and continued existence; 3) to stop disappointment and suffering on must stop desiring; and 4) the way to stop desiring and thus suffering is the Noble eight fold path - right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right awareness and right concentration. The realization of the truth of anatman (no eternal self) was taught as essential for the indescribable state of release called nirvana.
