Poor,
Poor Ganesha

Lord God
Must
suffered so!

Who would have thought
Who fell with one cut
would fall head
and blood
would leak?

Humans and animals;
Because, as you would
possibly known?

One day
Can hope
for all those who may collect and
To find the road.

La Terrazza "King Elephant" was inspired by a visit to the Elephant Terrace at Angkor Thom temple in> Siem Reap, Cambodia. My impressions of the visit was the iconic representation of the enhanced "Ganesh", it was noted that throughout the province.

For those of you who may not be familiar with it, "Ganesha" is a pre-Angkor Hindu gods, which is well known to countless people around the world. "Ganesha" is truly an unforgettable impression. He looks like a pot bellied man with an elephant head, which lies on the shoulders.

According to Hindu tradition, "Ganesha"was dissolved after his head from his spine. This happened after the Lord Shiva, the ancient Hindu god of death and destruction to cast an angry look towards these unfortunates.

In an act of reprisal was the main dish bellied man with an elephant head, floppy ears, and embodies a broken tooth.

Historical reports indicate that the first image of "Ganesha" during the 1st century BC and 'allegedly discovered Mihintale was found, a holyPeaks in the vicinity of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. With the image of Ganesha 6th century could be found in various parts of India.

At the moment, "Ganesha" is considered a god of wisdom. He is also eliminated for solutions to human problems and obstacles that prevent people from being praised by the achievement of its objectives.
