Symbolic Significance

• Ganesha: As the "Vighnaharta," or the remover of obstacles, Lord Ganesha is the most popular deity to be placed in homes and businesses to ensure success, prosperity, and wisdom. His presence is believed to attract positive energy and ward off negativity.

• The Umbrella (Chatra): In various cultures, especially in Hinduism and Buddhism, the umbrella is a symbol of royalty, power, and protection. When placed over a deity, it signifies that the god is a supreme authority, a king among the deities.

  • Protection and Shelter: The primary function of an umbrella is to provide shelter from the sun or rain. Spiritually, this symbolizes the deity's ability to protect the devotee from the "heat" of worldly sufferings, problems, and negative influences.

  • Royalty and Status: Historically, only kings and high-ranking dignitaries were permitted to use large, ornate umbrellas. Placing a Chatra over a deity is an act of showing immense respect and acknowledging their divine and sovereign status.

  • Cosmic Symbolism: The dome of the umbrella is sometimes seen as a symbol of the cosmic canopy, with the deity at the center of the universe.
