The Independence:Know-About-Some-Unique-Idols-of-Lord-Ganseh

 The World’s Tallest standing Murti of Bhagwan Ganesha. 128 feet tall, this giant bronze Murti of Ganesha is not in India but at Khlong Khuean Ganesh International Park, Thailand.

An extremely rare manifestation of Ganesha considered as one of the largest Rock-cut Ganesha murti carved out from single boulder of Stone located at Boha pahar in Mayong town of Assam.

World’s first Seashells with sand installation art of Lord Ganesha made by Sudarshan Pattanaik in Puri, Odisha. 

Trinetra Ganesh Temple, Ranthambore. This temple in Rajasthan houses a stunning idol of Lord Ganesh, in which he is depicted in his three-eyed (Trinetra) avatar. An interesting thing about the shrine is that people write letters to the Lord before beginning any task. 

Dholkal Ganesh Temple, Dantewada. Nothing mysterious about an old Ganesh idol just randomly sitting at a height of 3000 ft, right ? Well, apparently, this particular one that is perched atop the Dholkal hill in Chhattisgarh is quite fascinating. To begin with, no one knows how and when the beautiful stone idol was placed here. But in 2017, the idol was found in a broken state at the foothill, and was pieced together. But, some of its parts are still missing, and there are visible signs of damage on the statue.

Sasivekalu & Kadale Kalu Ganesha Temple is one of the prime attractions in Hampi, which once used to be the glorious capital of the Vijaynagar Empire. This temple has two unique idols of Lord Ganesha that dates back to 1440 AD and several images of other deities that too are very old. The statues of Lord Ganesha here are believed to be the largest Ganesha statues in Karnataka. Some people say that once the troops of the Deccan Sultanate broke the stomach of the statue, believing it contained jewels. This led to a crack in the idol of Lord Ganesha, which looked like a gram seed. Since then the name of the idol was kept ‘Kadale Kalu Ganesh’.
