Dancing Ganesha Incense Cone Holder, Aluminium, 14 x 10cm

Product Overview

Ganesha appears mid-dance on this aluminium holder, made to take standard incense cones. At 14 x 10cm and 150g it is the most substantial of our aluminium holders, sturdy enough to stay put on a shrine shelf. Set a cone in place, light it, and the figure becomes the focal point of a small puja corner.

The Story Behind the Design

In Hindu tradition Ganesha is honoured as the remover of obstacles and the patron of beginnings, which is why he is worshipped first before new ventures, journeys and ceremonies. His dancing form, known as Nritya Ganapati, shows him with one leg raised and is a favourite subject in temple carving. Ganesh Chaturthi, his annual festival, is celebrated across India.
