We pray to God in a form that makes us connect with the higher power in an easy manner. Idols made of stone are the most commonly seen in every temple or under a sacred tree or a siddh place. I chanced to witness this beautiful ganesha idol at a stone art workshop and it immediately caught my attention. A flow of bhakti bhaav poured out from deep inside, in the form of poetry.
The countenance of abundance,
But a stance of minimalism,
Your demeanor exhumes unbridled joy,
And a charm so serene,
I gaze in awe at your magnetism,
As I feel the divine aura,
Touch my mortal existence,
Bringing it a step closer,
To the reality of this life,
Yet obscuring its fullness,
Leaving room for bhakti to evolve,
With patience and purity.
bhakti : divinity : ganesha
