A Modern Ganesha

An amusing rendering.

Ganesha is a widely worshipped deity in Hindu culture, and this modern rendering in San Francisco’s Mission District has irresistible charm.

A friend writes: “Ganesha is the Remover of Obstacles. So it stands to reason that a vacuum cleaner and toothbrush should figure in his gear bag.”

This was actually a warm gesture of friendship, not one of condescension. The foreground figure did it for me. Bello’s Coffee Shop. Mission District.
