A parad (solidified mercury) idol of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, worshipped first before every puja and new beginning. It is made for the home mandir and makes a meaningful gift for housewarmings, weddings and festivals.
Parad is mercury solidified with herbs through a traditional process. Parad idols and Shivlings are considered especially auspicious and are worshipped for prosperity and protection.
