This vividly coloured postal numismatic coin cover captures the essence of the ancient ‘festival of lights’ Diwali, which is celebrated by millions of Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and some Buddhists around the world.
During the jubilant festivities Ganesha is worshipped as the deity of intellect and remover of obstacles to welcome wisdom along with wealth. Ganesha is typically portrayed with the head of an elephant, a rotund belly and four arms. He is often depicted holding an axe to cut down ignorance and a lotus flower, the symbol of enlightenment, with a rat or mouse at his feet.
