介绍（中）	Ganesha是湿婆和Parvati的大象头儿子，被所有印度教徒奉为创业者的保护者，无论他们是企业、学生还是旅行者。所有的公共活动和表演都以向加内沙勋爵致敬开始，以确保他的成功。在这个色彩丰富的印象中，Ganesha被描绘成坐在一个精致的建筑王座上，拥抱着他心爱的两个配偶Riddhi和Siddhi。艺术家拉维·瓦尔马（Ravi Varma）为加内沙（Ganesha）献上了所有必要的皇冠、阳伞和带着飞蝇扇的女服务员。他的王冠是由孔雀羽毛做成的。镶有珠宝的金王冠和项链的细节是这一时期印刷艺术中已知的最好的，这种印象中特别丰富的墨迹进一步增强了它们的触觉美。他肥胖的身体标志着他可能起源于古代自然神（yaksha），这种联想在现代印度教中几乎被遗忘了。
介绍（英）	Ganesha, the elephant-head son of Shiva and Parvati, is worshipped by all Hindus as the protector of those embarking on new ventures, be they businesses, students or travelers. All public events and performances begin with a homage to Lord Ganesha to secure his boon of success. In this richly colored impression Ganesha is depicted enthroned on an elaborate architectural throne-seat, embracing his two beloved consorts, Riddhi and Siddhi. The artist Ravi Varma honors Ganesha with all the necessary regalia of crown, parasol, and female attendants with fly-whisk fans. His crown is framed by a nimbus of peacock feathers. The detailing of the jewel encrusted gold crown and necklace are amongst the finest known in the print art of this period and the especially rich inking of this impression has further enhanced their tactile beauty. His corpulent body signals his likely origins as an ancient nature deity (yaksha), an association all but forgotten in modern Hinduism.
