Ganesha, the beloved and popular Hindu god of wisdom, knowledge, and new beginnings, is depicted in this watercolor Kalighat painting. He is seen enthroned, holding his symbols, and accompanied by his trusty mount, the rat. The Kalighat style of painting in watercolors originated in Kolkata, India, during the late 18th century.

In the painting, Ganesha is portrayed sitting on a throne with his four arms outstretched. He holds a lotus flower in his right hand and a conch shell in his left. In his upper left hand, he holds an axe, while in his upper right hand, he holds a bowl of sweets, symbolizing his love for food and his desire to share it with others.
