- The mouse/rat Mushika at her feet (her vehicle or vahana)
- The typical posture: one leg raised , often associated with a dancing or hip-swaying performance (a form called Nritya Ganapati ).
🪵 Material
The statuette appears to be carved from a light-colored wood , probably:
-
Sandalwood → very common in India, light odor and fine carving.

- Symbolic gifts (protection and luck)

Ce livre fait une synthèse précise et documentée des recherches et de l'enseignement de Babakar Khane. Théorie et pratique y alternent pour guider le lecteur vers la compréhension d'une part, et vers une pratique adaptée d'autre part, quelque soit le niveau de pratique visé.
Merci infiniment à Gem&Zen pour ce magnifique bol que j'ai reçu très rapidement dans un emballage soigné !
