19th June 2017.
On the second day of our Hampi ruins heritage
Visit after breakfast started with SasiveKalu Ganesha. (the meaning of
Sasikevalu in Kannada is a mustard seed) This is on the way from Hospet to Hampi
road, very near to Hampi bus terminus. As per the inscriptions, this
monolithic four-armed 2.4-meter tall Ganesha was made by merchants from Andhra Pradesh during the 16th century from a
single rock. Ganesha is sitting on a pedestal inside a mandapam. The
plain pillars support a flat ceiling without any ornaments or superstructure. The sculptor carved Ganesha in such a manner that he is
sitting on the lap of his mother Parvati, touching his belly on the pedestal.
