Ganesha is the beloved and popular Hindu god of wisdom, knowledge, and new beginnings. In this watercolor Kalighat painting, we see Ganesha enthroned, holding his symbols and accompanied by his trusty mount, the rat. The watercolor Kalighat style of painting originated in Kolkata, India, during the late 18th century. 

The painting depicts Ganesha sitting on a throne, with his four arms outstretched. His right hand holds a lotus flower, while his left hand holds a conch shell. In his upper left hand, he holds an axe, and in his upper right hand, he holds a bowl of sweets, which symbolizes his love for food and his desire to share it with others.
