Lord Ganesha - A Hindu God - a God of new beginnings. He is the one who is worshiped first on all Hindu religious ceremonies or important occassions. He is believed to remove obstacles and brings success in everything.
He has been an inspiration for many artists and designers. Lord Ganesha is not only present in paintings and statues but also in clothes, watches, Jewelery, handbags, hats, lampshades, table mats, wall hangings, wind chimes, home decoratives. Meditation on Ganpati(Ganesha) is done for bringing wisdom and balance, therefore very popular in Yoga clothing.
Most of the Ganesha products come from India and Thailand. Ganesha T-shirts come in variety of colors, prints, motifs (traditional or modern , graphics or embroideries. Ganesha has inspired many jewelery designers who have made exquisite products which are believed to be auspicious at the same time. If someone try hunting then Cotton tops (kurtas) with Kalamkari prints (Andhra Pradesh India) or hand painted clothes with distinctive styles can also be found.
Few years back, I heard of a Swiss company entering Indian market with watch having Ganesha on its dial. Well, everyone wants to be successful. One must not be confused while designing a product inspired from Hindu mythology like a company did. I heard that " They had made flip flops with Ganesha's motifs". Undoubtedly, that must have hurt millions of people all around the world.
If you have never worn a Ganesha product you can begin with a Ganesha T and a denim..then see how the friends and colleagues comment about your exotic look. A small Ganesha pendant can also be a soft start. He has been around for thousands of years with the image of a man having elephant head. I find him real cute and inspired enough to paint a Ganesha midi today (my personal style).
For finding huge collection of Ganesha products one can try http://www.ebay.com , http://www.cafepress.com, http://www.yogasite.com, http://www.novica.com, http://www.bepresent.net and ...many more....
I hope some of you will be enlightened after reading this article if not all.
