The various elements of Ganesha and the elements that he holds in his hands are played with while designing new idols, products related to him or featuring him and also handicrafts related to him.

A few varieties are described below:

*Ganesha idols: Ganesha idols are available in all sizes-huge statues to very tiny ones. They are available in so many materials that it can be easily said that there is no material that has not been used to create his images! It can also be said that there is no distinction between where one may find a Ganesha image. The following images are a few examples of Ganesha in different sizes, different materials and in varied postures and styles.

1. A tiny plastic moulded Ganesha in gold colour ( approx 20mm in height ) with minimal detailing and an organic form.
