A dark grey stone statue of the elephant-headed deity Ganesha seated on a lotus base atop a pale stone pedestal, set outdoors among green leafy plants and red flowers in front of a white wall with a red-framed window. The four-armed murti holds a broken tusk and modak-like objects, and a small carved mouse, his vahana, sits at the base. No physical people are visible. The statue is shown, not a living person, so no a person candidate is present.2009-07-08August 08 20112011-08-08December 02 20172017-12-02April 19 20172017-04-19November 05 20132013-11-05A carved dark grey stone statue of the elephant-headed deity Ganesha seated on a lotus base atop a stone plinth.
