Brass Ganesha Pooja Plate 6.4 Inch

Brass Ganesha Pooja Plate 6.4 Inch - Engraved Vinayaka in Temple Sanctum Frame with Mushika Vahana Puja Thali

Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha! This magnificent Brass Ganesha Pooja Plate is a premium solid brass puja thali measuring 6.4 inches in diameter, 0.5 inches in depth, and weighing 60 grams, featuring an exquisitely detailed engraving of Lord Ganesha — the supreme Vighnaharta (remover of obstacles), Prathamapuja (first to be worshipped), Buddhi Pradayaka (granter of wisdom), and Mangalmurti (embodiment of all auspiciousness) — set within a complete temple sanctum (Garbhagriha/Mantapa) architectural frame, in fine golden brass line-art. This is the most auspicious puja plate for any new beginning, business launch, home puja, Ganesh Chaturthi, or gifting occasion — for Lord Ganesha is always worshipped first in all Hindu puja, before any other deity.

The engraving covers the entire interior recessed surface with a richly detailed and iconographically complete temple-art Ganesha composition. At the centre, Lord Ganesha is seated in Lalitasana pose (relaxed royal posture with one leg folded and one leg gently hanging down) on an ornate peetham (sacred throne/pedestal), his magnificent elephant head crowned with a tall ornate Kireedam (royal crown) with a Chandrika (crescent-shaped crest ornament) at its apex. His large fan-shaped ears are spread wide, his eyes are large and full of divine grace and wisdom, and his curved trunk turns to the left (Vamamukhi — the auspicious and Shakti-aligned left-facing trunk position, believed to grant all desires of the devotee). He is four-armed: his upper right hand holds the Ankusha (elephant goad, the instrument of divine guidance that prods the devotee on the right path), his upper left hand holds the Pasha (noose/rope, which binds and removes obstacles and negative forces), his lower right hand is in Abhaya Mudra (gesture of protection and fearlessness) or holding a Modak (sacred sweet — Ganesha’s favourite offering and the symbol of the bliss of spiritual liberation), and his lower left hand rests gracefully. He wears a large Yagnopavita (sacred thread) across his broad, pot-bellied body, multiple necklaces and jewellery ornaments, armlets (Bajuband), and bangles, all engraved in exquisite fine line-art detail. A large circular Prabhamandala (divine arch/halo) frames the deity’s head from behind. At the base of the peetham, Lord Ganesha’s beloved vahana — the tiny Mushika (sacred mouse/rat) — is depicted looking up at the Lord in devotion, a charming detail that makes this plate instantly recognisable to all Ganesha devotees. The background of the entire interior is filled with a fine vertical ruled/hatched line pattern — parallel vertical lines filling the background field between the pillars — a distinctive and elegant background style unique to this Ganesha plate in the entire series. The composition is framed within a complete temple sanctum architectural border: two tall ornate vertical pillar columns (with stacked capital and base moulding details) stand on the left and right sides of the deity, connected at the top by a horizontal beam/architrave, creating a complete Mantapa (pillared hall) or Garbhagriha (temple sanctum) doorway framing — as if the devotee is viewing Lord Ganesha enthroned in his own sacred temple, presiding over all puja and granting all boons. The rim features the classic red enamel inlay ring with a golden brass scalloped petal bead border. The reverse is plain mirror-polished golden brass with a flat base ring.

The Spiritual Significance of Lord Ganesha

Lord Ganesha — also known as Vinayaka, Ganapati, Vighnaharta (remover of obstacles), Prathamapuja (the one who must be worshipped first), Ekadanta (single-tusked), Lambodara (pot-bellied), Buddhi Pradayaka (granter of intelligence and wisdom), Mangalmurti (all-auspicious form), and Vighneshvara — is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and is universally worshipped as the first deity in every Hindu puja, every auspicious ceremony, every new beginning, and every important life event. No puja, yagna, havan, wedding, business launch, home consecration, or sacred ceremony begins without first invoking Lord Ganesha and seeking his blessings to remove all obstacles (Vighna) from the path. His elephant head represents supreme wisdom, intellect, memory, and the capacity to understand the deepest cosmic truths. His Ankusha guides the mind away from wrong paths; his Pasha binds and removes all obstacles and negative forces; his Abhaya Mudra grants fearlessness and protection; his Modak represents the sweet fruit of spiritual liberation (Moksha) obtained through sincere devotion. His Vamamukhi trunk (left-facing) is considered the most auspicious form, said to grant all worldly and spiritual desires. His Mushika vahana represents the mastery of the ego — the tiny mouse of restless thought and desire tamed and ridden by the supreme Lord of intelligence.

Care and Maintenance

Wipe the plate with a dry soft cloth after each puja use to remove Durva grass, flower petals, Modak/Laddoo residue, Kumkum, Vibhuti, and Panchamrit. To restore the golden line-art clarity of the Ganesha engraving, apply tamarind paste or fresh lemon juice to the engraved brass interior only, rub gently with a soft brush to clean the fine engraved lines (pillar column details, architrave beam, Prabhamandala arch, Ankusha and Pasha curves, Mushika mouse figure, facial features, jewellery, and the fine vertical ruled background lines), rinse thoroughly, and dry immediately. IMPORTANT: Do NOT apply acidic paste to the red enamel rim — clean the enamel ring only with a dry or barely damp soft cloth. Store in a dry place away from moisture.
