The beautiful Kalamkari painting depicts the Lord Ganesha in eight forms. Lord Ganesha is the Lord of beginnings, guiding the practical aspects of our lives that we may best fulfill dharma. The Mudgala Purana, an ancient text on Lord Ganesha, refers to eight forms of Ganesha, prevailing over eight human weaknesses: Ekadanta is the Conquerer of Moda, arrogance. Dhumravarna (smoke colored) overcomes Abhimana, pride; Vakratunda (curved trunk) is the Vanquisher of Matsarya, jealousy; Mahodara (big belly) is Lord of Moha, infatuation; Gajanana (elephant face) conquers Lobha, greed; Lambodara (corpulent belly) overcomes Krodha, anger; Vikata (deformed) conquers Kama, lust; Vighnaraja (King of Obstacles) prevails over Mamata (egotism). So Lord Ganesha is there for even the lowest of the low, that there is hope for everyone.
