The group of musical and dancing Ganeshas

---

This group of musical and dancing Ganeshas is unique in the world. Not even India has a collection quite like this. Between 6ft and 9ft in height and weighing between 3 and a half to five tonnes each, they represent the absolute best of traditional Indian craftsmanship – with an Irish twist. It took the sculptor Murugan of Mahabalipuram in Tamil Nadu seven years to complete the group. Note the Irish Ganesh (locally called Paddyganesh, because he’s playing an Oileann Pipe and wearing a Donegal tweed cap) on the right side.
