Gajanana: The Elephant Faced Lord
Rs. 20,500
One day, Goddess Parvati went bathing and asked Nandi to guard the doors and not let anyone inside until she is done. But Nandi being a very faithful and loyal attendant of Lord Shiva immediately let him enter when he arrived. Parvati thus felt that she needed someone who will remain as faithful to her as Nandi is to Shiva. She then used the turmeric she uses to bathe with and moulded it into the shape of a boy and asked Lord Brahma to pour life into it. She asked the boy to guard the doors and obeying her orders, the boy denied entry to Lord Shiva. This angered him and he cut off the boy's head. Parvati was aghast and quickly realising his mistake, Lord Shiva replaced the boy's head with that of an elephant's and that is how Lord Ganesh became iconic as the elephant-headed god, or Gajanana. Bring home this beechwoord artefact and be reminded of the glory of Indian mythology every day.

Abhaya Mudra: The Gesture of Re-assurance
Rs. 57,000
The different poses of Buddha are called asanas. When standing, the hand is generally shown raised in a blessing gesture primarily conveying reassurance and in Sanskrit, it is called the Abhaya mudra. The abhaya mudra symbolizes protection, peace and dispelling of fear (Abhaya in Sanskrit). As per Buddhist texts, the lord had made this gesture upon attaining enlightenment. This was also the gesture made by the god while being attacked by an angry elephant and managing to calm it down. The gesture is made with the right hand raised to shoulder height, arm bent, and palm facing outward. The gesture demonstrates that the hand is empty of weapons and thus indicates friendship and peace. When the right hand is in the abhaya mudra, the left hand usually hangs loosely at the side of the body or makes the varada mudra, or gift-giving gesture.
