Ganesha

My student’s mom molded this with play dough, he was happy. Then mom shared with us the meaning of their god and in fact, that they have a big celebration in his honor tomorrow.
Here’s some info I found out in the internet:
“The son of Shiva and Parvati, the pot-bellied elephant god Ganesha is the lord of success, knowledge, and wealth. Ganesha is worshiped by all sects of Hinduism, making him perhaps the most important of Hindu gods. He is typically depicted riding a mouse, who assists the deity in removing barriers to success, whatever the endeavor.”
