Ganesh, here depicted in his Vinayaka form, is one of the most venerated deities in Hinduism, invoked to remove obstacles and bring good luck to new beginnings. He is found in almost every Indian household, often near the entrance, to welcome good fortune. This red papier-mâché wall mask is shaped and hand-painted by Indian artisans using a technique passed down through generations: modeling the paper pulp on a mold, natural drying, then detailed brush painting to bring out each facial feature.
