💡 Hey! Can you also draw the little mouse that Ganesha rides on? He’s very tiny compared to Ganesha – that’s what makes it funny!
Did You Know?
- Ganesha is called “Vighnaharta” – the remover of obstacles.
- Artists often draw Ganesha with big ears to show he listens carefully, and a small mouth to show he speaks wisely and doesn’t waste words.
- Every year, people across India draw and sculpt Ganesha in completely different styles —some tall, some round, some sitting, some dancing – yet he’s always instantly recognisable.
