Sketches of Pillaiyar

These sketches are by 4B pencil on Daler Rowney Arteco paper.
The Hindu diety Ganesh (Vignesh, Ganapathy are some other names) is thought of as the son of Siva and Parvathy in the Hindu pantheon. In Tamil he is known as Pilliayar- pillai meaning child. So I have shown him as a toddler doing the things that children of that age would do... and some other activity as well.

In the Tamil pantheon, Siva and Parvathy have a younger son, Murugan, so here are the boys playing together.

Here he is getting a scolding from his mother....

.........but boys will be boys, even if you are the son of Gods!
