According to Hindu mythology , Ganesha is the son of the god Shiva and the goddess Parvati , he is the lord of all the atoms and energies that make up the universe. The universe would be in chaos if there were no supreme law governing the diverse parts that make it up. Ganesha permeates the universe as the supreme, omnipresent consciousness, bringing order. Although he is a formless deity, he is worshiped in the form of an elephant because expression in the form of words is impermanent and changes with time.

Ganesha's large belly symbolizes generosity , the raised hand represents protection, the lowered hand with the palm facing outward symbolizes the fact that one day they will all return back to earth. A single tusk means unequivocalness.

As with the use of any other Feng Shui symbol, be it deities, flowers or animals, it is necessary to first follow your own intuition, hobbies, set goals. There are no more appropriate rules for decorating the house with specific symbols than those that are governed by what symbols each of us likes, believes in, and professes.

Elephant symbolism

The elephant in Feng Shui is a symbol of beauty, quiet strength, majesty and kindness. Even though elephants are the largest living land mammals today, their energy is always kind.
The elephant as a Feng Shui symbol should ensure protection, luck and wisdom. Usually, the elephant is depicted with its trunk pointing upwards, as a symbol of friendship, love and happiness. If the elephant is to serve as a symbol of fertility, it should have its trunk facing downwards. Why exactly? There are several explanations. One of them is that the elephant accumulates energy in this way and that it can push away various obstacles.
The elephant is also considered a symbol of wisdom and knowledge . It is one of the sacred animals in Buddhism and often depicted in Indian mythology. It can be used as a talisman for all who study and want to know.
Due to its strength, the elephant is a symbol of protection and stability and can be used at the entrance to a house or office as a protective element.
The elephant as a protector of love and marriage should stand in the bedroom in the form of a statuette.
