Lord Ganesha, also known as Ganesh, Ganapati, or Vinayaka, is one of the most beloved and widely worshipped deities in Hinduism. Within Hinudism Ganesha is universally worshiped as the remover of obstacles, the god of beginnings, and the harbinger of wisdom, intellect, and prosperity.
Known as the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, Ganesha holds a special place in the hearts of millions of Hindu devotees. His elephant-headed form makes him one of the most distinctive deities in the Hindu pantheon, and his stories and teachings are deeply embedded in Hindu culture.
In Hindu tradition, Ganesha is worshipped at the beginning of any new venture, whether it’s a business, a journey, or even a religious ritual. Known as the “Vighnaharta” (remover of obstacles), Ganesha is invoked to clear the path of any hurdles or difficulties.
வாக்குண்டாம் நல்ல மனமுண்டாம் மாமலராள்
நோக்குண்டாம் மேனி நுடங்காது – பூக்கொண்டு
துப்பார் திருமேனித் தும்பிக்கையான் பாதம்
தப்பாமல் சார்வார் தமக்கு.

Real wonder of Chiang Mai the Wat Sri Suphan whose construction dates back to the beginning of the sixteenth century It has since 2008 a ubosot (ordination hall of the monks) entirely covered with silver.
The life of Buddha is on the walls but also the life of the people as well as representations of some countries with the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, etc...
A maintenance and repair workshop is inside and it is possible to see monks and craftsmen working there.

It is of Ganesh:
"The Lord of Success
The son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha has an elephantine countenance with a curved trunk and big ears, and a huge pot-bellied body of a human being. He is the Lord of success and destroyer of evils and obstacles. He is also worshipped as the god of education, knowledge, wisdom and wealth. In fact, Ganesha is one of the five prime Hindu deities (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and Durga being the other four) whose idolatry is glorified as the panchayatana puja. "
Got the above information from:
I wanted to shoot a place where pottery work is common as Ganesh Puja was just weeks away. First I decided for good old pottery town. But Dr. Vivek in BWS suggested for this place Narayanapura and we jumped for it.
Here is a report about Narayanapura from Deccan Herald.
And here is blog about this place.
Narayanapura is a small town close to Bangalore and a more conventional pottery place. People are mostly photographer friendly here. Though you can not call it as a village; you can still feel the slow pace of village life if you visit Narayanpura.
We found out a shady corner where these idols were worked on. These are half finished clay idols waiting to be painted.

Karthikai Deepam[1] or Karthikai vilakkidu is a Hindu specially Tamils Festival of Lights. The festival is observed in most Hindu homes and every temple, and falls in the month of Kārttikai (mid-November to mid-December) as per Tamil calendar.
This occurs on the day when the moon is in conjunction with the constellation Karthigai (Pleiades) and pournami. This constellation appears as a group of six stars in the firmament in the shape of a pendant from the ear.
The story of six stars
Many legends and lyrical poetry have grown round this star. The six stars are considered in Indian mythology as the six celestial nymphs who reared the six babies in the saravana tank which later were joined together to form the six faced Muruga. He is therefore called Karthikeya, the incarnation of lord Shiva as his second son after lordGanesha. Stories tells lord shiva created Muruga from his 3rd eye[2] of six primary faces (Tatpurusam,[3] Aghoram,[4]Sadyojatam,[5] Vamadevam,[6] Eesanam,[7]Adhomukam[8]). Stories tells the six forms made into six child and each of them brought up by the six Karthigai nymphs and later merged into one by his mother Parvati.
While merging he also formed into a six faced (Arumugam and twelve handed god. The Lord muruga is also portrayed with his six plays[9] and worshiped with six names.
As the six nymphs helped in growing the six child, lord shiva blessed immortality to the six nymphs as ever living stars on the sky. Any worship performed to this six stars is equal to worshiping lord muruga himself. They are worshiped by lit up with rows of oil lamps (Deepam) in the evening of the festival day around the souses and streets. Karthikai Deepam is also known as Kartikeya, or Muruga's birthday.
Other Mythological Stories and Literature on this 6 stars
I made this play doh model of Indian Lord Ganesha, his vehicle "the mouse" and his favorite sweet ladoos and modak. Devotion of Lord Ganesha or Ganpati is worshiped widely amongst Hindus, Jains and Buddhists..
Although he is known by many attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify.He is the son of goddess Parvati. Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles,the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. As the god of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rituals and ceremonies. Ganesha is also invoked as patron of letters and learning during writing sessions. Several texts relate mythological anecdotes associated with his birth and exploits and explain his distinct iconography.Tomorrow is Ganesh Chaturthi, a festival celebrated in India in honor of Ganesha.
