HE IS THE DESTROYER OF EVIL AND OBSTACLES! He has an elephant's head and a human body. Ganesha's head symbolizes the Atman or the soul, which is the ultimate supreme reality of human existence, and his human body signifies Maya or the earthly existence of human beings. How did it happen? The goddess Parvati, while splish-splash taking a bath, created a boy out of the dirt of her body. She told him to guard the door to her boudoir. When Shiva, her Hubby God returned, he was angry and confused to find a stranger denying him access to his lovely lady, and so, like a god, a petulant impatient power dude, he cut off the little boy's head. Parvati was damn sad, she was, and so to soothe her, Shiva sent out his posse to fetch the head of any sleeping being who was facing the north. The company found a few Kardashians but didn't tell Parvati, and they eventually found a sleeping elephant and brought back its severed head, which was then attached to the body of the boy. He tipped over initially, but soon learned how to walk properly. Shiva restored the elephant boy's life (And when he grew up David Lynch made a movie about him.) Shiva made him the leader of his troops. This fine looking Dinner Gong, Decorative Gong, Gift Gong is made of MANGO WOOD. The Mallet and mallet holder are of a slightly different stain color than the stand, although they are made of same wood.   SAMPLE SOUND
