Whoa Neelu Whoa! what an image!!!
Elephant time it is... on CNP. Ganesh Nialanjan Arati and this one of yours. It just made me reflect on the art of idol making. Perhaps out of the all gods in hindu pantheon lord Ganesh has been re-created the most. each artist has his or her own version of idol. There are so many shapes, forms, textures, perspectives of Ganesh which make him one of the most intimate gods. Playful, pliant, symbolic, innocent, physical, meta-physical are just some of the attributes which come to my mind here. I wonder if it is our theistic affinity to lord Ganesh which is at the center of creativity in images of elephant posted at CNP. I perceive all symbolic images of elephant as transformation of pachyderm into its exalted form; lord Ganesh. This latest offering takes my heart away literally and I'm stunned.
thanks for sharing
