Ganesha(s)

We ran across miles and miles of Ganesha 'factories' on the side of the road on the way to one of the schools outside the city. They're for an upcoming festival in which they are decorated and then put into the lake (I think). They're all plaster and are individually painted, with the hands applied in the right positions at the last minute, it looks like. The whole area was chalky-plastery white.
