Although he is known by many attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify. Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles,the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. As the god of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rituals and ceremonies. Ganesha is also invoked as patron of letters and learning during writing sessions.

Biography
My name is Mahesh Anjarlekar and I'm an art enthusiast and a maverick all rolled into one. Academically speaking, I'm an applied art graduate from one of the leading institutes in Mumbai. I made a humble beginning in a small village in the Konkan and then moved to Mumbai for further studies. Currently, I live in the central suburb of Thane city in Mumbai. Professionally, I'm a qualified visual artist with vast and varied experience in conceptual art, space design, art installations, community art and public art. I have special expertise in working with all types of materials like Terracotta, Clay, FRP, Metal, Paper Mache, Cement, etc. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working and collaborating on various government and private projects and installations across the spectrum. Besides this, I also run my advertising agency and also hold exhibitions across India for my paintings and sculptures. Art is not just a career option for me but is also my passion and given the opportunity, I'm always looking to do something new and exciting with this medium.

Artist's Statement
Intrigued by the thought how the flow of Time mows down both powerful and the weak of once flourishing but now dissolved empires, hamlets, I am set on the mission of recapturing those furrows carved by times on artworks, buried in ruins; allowing me to revisit those eras bygone, by a measure of the withered art, battered sculptures inviting all to relive the pain they endured. I wish time froze only to save these unsung pieces of expression, chose not to vandalize them by unleashing the brute forces of weather and dogmas. I chose ceramic as the medium for its ability to store those wounds inflicted on artworks of yore, chiselled forever.
