About this Parad (Mercury) Ganesha / Ganpati - 78 gm (PAGN-002)
The Parad (Mercury) Ganesha (SKU: PAGN-002) is a larger sacred idol of Lord Ganesha cast in solidified mercury (parad), weighing approximately 78 gm. The greater weight of this piece gives it a more prominent presence on a puja altar or in a dedicated home temple, and it is well-suited to those who wish to establish a significant Ganesha shrine. Like all parad items, it is traditionally prepared through classical Ayurvedic and tantric processes to render the mercury inert and ritually pure before being shaped into a sacred form.
- Installed as the central deity idol on a puja platform or home mandir
- Offered abhishek (ritual bathing), modak sweets, and red flowers during daily worship
- Placed prominently in a business setting to invoke auspicious beginnings
- Consecrated by a priest before first worship for full traditional benefit
Astrological significance
As a symbol of the divine son of Shiva and Parvati, Lord Ganesha is honoured before every sacred act in the Hindu tradition. The parad form is considered especially potent in tantric schools, where solidified mercury is believed to embody transformative spiritual energy. In Vedic astrology, Ganesha's grace is traditionally sought to mitigate the challenging effects of Ketu and to support intellectual endeavours governed by Mercury (Budha). Devotees are encouraged to maintain regular puja and to seek guidance from a learned Jyotishi regarding planetary remedies.
