He is the Lord of success & destroyer of evils & obstacles. He is also worshipped as the god of education, knowledge, wisdom & wealth. in fact, Ganesha is one of the five prime Hindu deities (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva & Durga being the other four) whose idolatry is glorified. We have worked directly with Balinese artist & crafts people since 1988. During Maine's freezing cold winters we return to Bali & our island home. While there we collaborate with the Balinese (mostly family & friends) & create special offerings for our shop. We believe our offerings should be culturally significant using local sustainable materials & craftsmanship whenever possible. Thus in turn keeping the arts alive in ever evolving fast changing Bali in the world of globalization, while enriching the lives of our family & friends whom we work with by creating a market for the beautiful art of Bali.
