In this gorgeous Tanjore painting,
you see Vinaayakaa or Ganesha
performing the joyous dance
aptly called ANANDHA THANDAVAM...
No wonder Ganesha in this form is
also called
Anandha Vinaayaka...
The harbinger of joy and happiness...
Watch him strike a dance pose
similar to that of his father
Lord Shiva.
The gem encrusted golden Mantapam
and the glittering peedam (pedastal)
add to the grandeur of the picture...
