Brass Ganesha Pooja Plate 6.4 Inch

This Brass Ganesha Pooja Plate features the most architecturally elaborate composition in the entire brass plate series — a complete temple sanctum (Garbhagriha / Mantapa) frame with Lord Ganesha enthroned within. The frame consists of two tall ornate vertical pillar columns (with stacked capital and base moulding details) on the left and right sides, connected at the top by a horizontal beam/architrave, creating a complete Mantapa doorway as if viewing the deity within his own sacred temple. The background between the pillars is filled with fine parallel vertical ruled/hatched lines — a distinctive style unique to this plate in the series. Within the sanctum, Lord Ganesha (Vinayaka / Ganapati) is seated in Lalitasana pose on an ornate peetham, four-armed: upper right hand holding Ankusha (elephant goad), upper left hand holding Pasha (noose), lower right hand in Abhaya Mudra or holding a Modak, lower left hand resting. He wears a tall ornate Kireedam crown with Chandrika crest, large fan ears spread wide, his auspicious left-facing Vamamukhi trunk, Yagnopavita, multiple necklaces, armlets, and bangles. A large circular Prabhamandala arch frames his head from behind. At the base of the peetham is the beloved Mushika (sacred mouse vahana) looking up at the Lord in devotion. All engraving is in fine golden brass line-art. Rim: red enamel inlay ring with golden brass scalloped petal bead border.

This Brass Ganesha Pooja Plate measures 6.4 inches diameter x 0.5 inches depth and weighs 60 grams. Material: solid brass throughout. The background engraving style is uniquely distinctive in the plate series: fine parallel vertical ruled/hatched lines fill the background field between the two pillar columns of the temple sanctum frame — unlike the swirling arc aura (Bal Krishna plate), the straight sunburst rays (Shanku Chakra plate), or the plain deep black contrast backgrounds (Lakshmi and Murugan plates). Combined with the unique temple sanctum architectural frame (two pillar columns + horizontal architrave), this Ganesha plate has the most structurally complex and architecturally detailed composition in the entire series. Rim style: red enamel inlay ring with golden brass scalloped petal bead border — same as LKS (Lakshmi), MRG (Murugan), and KRS (Bal Krishna) series plates. Care note: Do NOT apply tamarind or lemon to the red enamel rim. Reverse: plain mirror-polished golden brass with flat base ring. Suitable as a daily Ganesha puja offering plate, Ganesh Chaturthi Abhishek plate, Naivedyam thali, and sacred altar display.

Lord Ganesha (Vinayaka / Ganapati / Vighnaharta / Prathamapuja / Mangalmurti) is the son of Shiva and Parvati and is universally the first deity worshipped in every Hindu puja, wedding, ceremony, and new beginning — no auspicious event begins without invoking Ganesha first. His Ankusha guides the devotee on the right path; his Pasha binds and removes all obstacles; his Modak represents the bliss of spiritual liberation; his Mushika vahana represents the ego tamed by wisdom. His Vamamukhi trunk (left-facing) is the most auspicious form, said to fulfil all worldly and spiritual desires. For daily Ganesha puja: place the plate on your altar as the offering and Naivedyam thali. Offer Durva grass (the most sacred offering to Ganesha — 21 blades of Durva), red hibiscus flowers (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), Modak (steamed sweet dumpling — Ganesha’s favourite), Laddoo, coconut, banana, Panchamrit, and red Kumkum. Recite Ganesha Atharvashirsha, Ganapati Stotram, Vinayaka Ashtottara Shatanamavali (108 names of Ganesha), or simply the Ganesha Mantra: ‘Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha’. Light a ghee lamp (deepa) and incense. For Ganesh Chaturthi: use as the central Abhishek and Naivedyam plate for the 10-day Ganesh Chaturthi Utsav, offering 21 Modak on the first day. For Sankashti Chaturthi: use for the monthly Chaturthi fasting puja to remove obstacles and fulfil desires.

After each puja use, wipe the plate with a dry soft cloth to remove Durva grass, red hibiscus petals, Modak/Laddoo residue, Kumkum, Vibhuti, coconut water, and Panchamrit. Coconut water and milk-based Panchamrit left on brass will oxidise and tarnish quickly — wipe promptly after each offering. 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 reach all the fine engraved details: the two pillar column mouldings and capital details, the horizontal architrave beam, the circular Prabhamandala arch lines, the Ankusha (goad) and Pasha (noose) contours, the Kireedam crown with Chandrika crest, the Mushika mouse figure at the base, the facial features and ear outlines, the necklace and jewellery chain lines, and the many fine parallel vertical ruled background lines between the pillars. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately with a soft cloth. CRITICAL: Do NOT apply tamarind or lemon to the red enamel rim ring — acid damages the enamel. Clean the enamel rim only with a dry or barely damp cloth. The plain brass reverse can be cleaned with tamarind safely. Do not submerge in water. Store dry. Polish quarterly with tamarind paste for a consistently radiant golden Ganesha engraving.

Yes — the Brass Ganesha Pooja Plate is the single most universally auspicious gift in the entire brass plate series, because Lord Ganesha is the first deity worshipped in every Hindu tradition, community, and occasion. A Ganesha puja plate is appropriate, welcome, and deeply meaningful as a gift for virtually every Hindu household regardless of regional, caste, language, or sectarian background — Shaiva, Vaishnava, Shakta, and all traditions honour Ganesha first. Ideal for: Ganesh Chaturthi celebration and return gifts for all devotees participating in the 10-day Utsav; housewarming (Griha Pravesh) gifts — the first puja in any new home invokes Ganesha for protection and auspiciousness; new business launch gifts — every new business puja begins with Ganesha; wedding and engagement gifts — every Hindu wedding Muhurtam begins with Ganesha puja; baby shower and Namkaran (naming ceremony) gifts; Sankashti Chaturthi and Vinayaka Chaturthi monthly gifts for Ganesha devotees; academic milestone gifts — students worship Ganesha (Buddhi Pradayaka) for success in exams and education; and corporate and business gifting.
