Dancing Ganesh Postcard
Dancing Ganesh Thangka painted 2010/11 by ariya between August 2010 and January 2011 (roughly 300 hrs) in Gokarn/India and Germany.
Ganesh
also known as Ganapati, Vinayaka and Pillaiyar, is one of the deities best-known and most widely worshipped in the Hindu pantheon. Although he is known by many other attributes, Ganesh's elephant head makes him particularly easy to identify. He is widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles and more generally as Lord of Beginnings and Lord of Obstacles, patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom.
In this painting Ganesh is shown dancing in tandavi or bow-and-arrow posture, with his right leg drawn up and his left foot resting upon the saddlecloth of his vehicle, a long-nosed Asian shrew or chuchundra. Ganesh’s stout and pot-bellied white body is adorned with a floral-patterned loincloth, a long billowing silk scarf, and a headdress. He wears golden ornaments, a five-jewelled crown, and around each of his shins he wears little spherical ‘dancing bells’, which are used in classical Indian dance and in the Newar charya-nritya dance traditions.
Ganesh has three piercing eyes, his forehead is marked with the three horizontal lines of a Shaivite tripundra, and the tip of his right tusk is broken off. With his hands he holds a white radish (mulaka) – his favourite vegetable, and a bowlful of yellow laddus – his favourite Indian sweets.
His mantra is Om Ganapataye Namaha.

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for.
I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording.
Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
