This is a customized Dagadusheth idol made especially for Punekars. The Crown of the idol is replaced with Puneri Feta which is painted with kaavi. The trunk is curled on his left side which depicts that we should be flexible towards vicissitude in our life. The big belly represents the virtue of forgiveness and padmasana posture motivates us to do meditation for self-realization. Mushakraj is resting below the right knee of the Lord. A famous shloka dedicated to Lord Ganesha describes him as-
“Vakra Tunda Mahakaaya Surya Koti Samaprabha
Nirvignam Kurume Deva Sarva Kaaryeshu Sarvadaa”
Does it mean that I worship the Lord with a curved trunk and a huge body with the effulgence of a crore sun. Let him remove the obstacles to all my deeds and lead them to fulfillment?. This Ganeshotsav let’s bring this royal idol and imbibe the virtues of Lord in our lives.
