Cotton Batik Wall Art of Hindu God Ganesha or Ganapati, "Lord Ganapati"

This extraordinary wall art depicting the Hindu god Ganesha, also known as Ganapati and instantly recognizable for his elephant-like head, is expertly rendered by Ida Bagus Lawa Bargawa. A master of the traditional batik technique, the Balinese artist skillfully hand-sketches the figure and employs freehand wax resist application, which demands considerable expertise, with distinct dye baths for each color to create the vibrant and intricate batik art. In Hinduism, Ganesha is known as a god of knowledge and a remover of obstacles.
