While Ganesha is known as the remover of obstacles, Lakshmi represents prosperity, happiness, and abundance. Saraswati stands for knowledge, creativity, and personal development. Together, they form a spiritual whole that is traditionally placed in homes, businesses, practice rooms, and home altars.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nThis statue is often chosen by people taking a new step in their lives, starting a business, beginning studies, or consciously wishing to bring more balance, success, and positive energy into their surroundings. Precisely for this reason, this combination has been one of the most beloved representations within Hinduism for generations.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nWhat stands out immediately is the exceptional weight. At approximately 3 kilograms, this compact statue feels remarkably heavy and solid. The warm golden appearance is enhanced by natural oxidation in the deeper parts of the relief. Furthermore, under magnification, hand-applied punch decorations are visible, a detail that further emphasizes the artisanal character of the statue.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nThe three deities are placed together on a single pedestal, meaning the statue not only carries spiritual significance but also possesses a strong visual presence. It is an object that immediately catches the eye on an altar, desk, sideboard, or meditation spot. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nA special statue for those seeking not only a decorative object, but a tangible symbol of protection, wisdom, prosperity, and new possibilities. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#8a6a24;font-size:20px;margin-top:26px;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eGanesha, Lakshmi and Saraswati\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eIndia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eBrass \/ bronze alloy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eManual punch decoration, old oxidation, heavy duty version\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e9.2 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e7.9 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e3 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1stbuddha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57485502087499,"sku":"614","price":375.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6170\/5547\/files\/ganesha-lakshmi-saraswati-altaarbeeld-india.jpg?v=1780309211"}],"url":"https:\/\/1stbuddha.com\/collections\/buddha-harmony.oembed","provider":"1stbuddha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
