Om Ganesha!



A couple of weeks ago, Tristan sent me an email: "Are there any Ganeshas there?" In a word, yes. Most of these were just randomly spotted on the street, and most are 6 to 12 inches high.

Without further ado, for Tristan and all the other Ganesha fans out there, ganapataye namaha!


In wood over a doorway



Above the Coke cooler in a cafe



Above a temple entrance






So ancient he's barely recognizable



With his mouse



With Ardbeg, the Scottish highland coo







Above the entrance to the temple at Pashupatinath, an important Hindu pilgrimage site



In repoussé on a door



Even in Bhoudanath, a major Tibetan Buddhist temple







Gates on Kantipath in Kathmandu




Even on menus:
