Lord Ganesh is a God within Hinduism. I drew this during the peak of Covid-19. It is said that the elephant is the forest's most strong and intelligent animal.

It is not attacked by lions or tigers. It travels through the forest by slamming its way through the dense foliage, clearing the way for other creatures. That is why an elephant is associated with the removal of barriers.

The elephant represents knowledge and fidelity (an elephant is generally faithful to just one trainer in a lifetime), which is a characteristic we should instil in our parents or spouses.

Small eyes represent focus and single-mindedness. Lord Ganesha removes barriers and opens the path for us to progress in life which was perfect during the times of uncertainty caused by the pandemic.
