Greetings to all on the occasion of the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi which falls on Sept 1 this year. Seen below is the 4.5 metres tall, 15th C sculpture of Kadalekalu Ganesha at Hampi. The image was taken handheld at ISO 1600.

Did you know the deity was defiled when Hampi fell to Muslim invaders after the battle of Talikota in 1565 CE
Lovely photo. I am impressed at the quality given that it was taken at ISO 1600. One of the advantages of digital is the high ISO you can get 🙂
Wish U Happy Ganesh Chaturthi Rajan…God bless U!
Enjoy!
श्री गणेशाय नमः
