As goes this blog... the journey of life is easier when you have something to keep yourself occupied. I have some hobbies, which keep me quite busy. The following is a list of hobbies i follow, though not in the order of the amount of time they demand on my busy schedule...
I am an avid follower of Shri Ganesha-The hindu Elephant Faced God. He is a source of immence encouragement, patience and willpower in times of peril. I was always awed by the various forms a Ganeshji's statue takes in India. I started collecting all unique shapes and sizes of Shri Ganeshji since the past few years. Each of my outdoor/Outstation visit is peppered with a visit to a local temple, where the shopping area is bound to get me access to some new form of Shri Ganeshji. Till date i have some 42 Unique statues collected and occupying a place of pride in my Drawing Room. I keep collecting them, but now its getting difficult to find unique shapes. So its becomming more challenging to develop the hobby.

Its truely a refreshing experience..
Good luck..
Do share with me any tips to maintain them please
Hey Sangi,
ReplyDeleteI am glad i found someone sharing the same interest as mine.
For maintenance, i use a mild soapwater & cloth after dusting with a artist's soft brush.
too frequent cleaning also damages the statues...
i am going to upload images sometime later, do share your collection images if possible...
thanks for posting,
