Petite Heramba Ganapati Charm

This petite brass prayer figure is cast in the likeness of Heramba Ganapati, the five-headed iconographical form of the Hindu god Ganesha. Invoked at the beginning of prayers, important undertakings, and religious ceremonies, Ganesha is a widely worshipped deity believed to grant success, prosperity and protection against adversity. Placed upon an altar table or set within a shrine, this travel-sized figurine provides a focal point for prayer and guided meditation.
