The balinese hindupeople consider Ganesh on two main aspects :

1. Accessorily, acoording to statements made by several people in Bali, Ganesh is the deity who protects education. But we have some doubts and we tend to believe that this function is affected, as it is in India, to the Goddess Sarasvatî Goddess, female counterpart of God Brahma who can be seen in many places and temples.

2. Ganesh is a Dvârapâla Guard at the temple gate, a guard at the temple gate, like in Pura Uluwatu, for instance. This guard duty is usually assumed by other grim Creatures, whose aspect is normal considering that their task is to prevent demons to enter into the sacred area. This can be the reason why most balinese Ganesh look rather inimical.

A new fashion has developped rather recently to display a stone Ganesh statue just after the outer entrance of private estates. This Ganesh, we suppose that He is a welcome Ganesh, has often his back against the low wall which usually follows the main gate. According to balinese believes, this wall impedes demons to enter the property. Indeed, it is an obstacle and Demons, everybody knows that, can only keep straight on. So, one can think that the Ganesh presence reinforces the obstacle and Demons cannot go inside.

The Ganesh presence in temples in not really usual. It's rather rare, indeed. Except for the Goa Gajah cave where stays a 11th century Ganesh and carved rocks in Yehpulu, not far from Goa gajah, where there is another Ganesh from the 14th century, one may never be sure that the Ganesh seen here and there are ancient or not.

Stone handicraft is very well developed, especially in Batubalan. Weight and size of the objects make them more adapted for the local market. Carvers use preferably basalt, and also a yellowish white softer stone (sandstone ?). Their style is generally classical, with little variations only. One can notice that the javanese style (feet sole joined) has been introduced. On may sometimes observe a Garuda head carved back of the Ganesh head. We have also seen a Ganesh with a sex erected (urdhvareta).

Wood Ganesh carvings, made in villages around Ubud, allow the carvers variations in the forms. Usually, one can see two fashions : 1. Ganesh with very detailed shapes (dress, head dress, ...), made in a white soft wood ("crocodile wood" = Zanthoxylum rhetsa), or in a precious sandal wood, imported from Kalimantan and Sulawesi, or in suar wood (see below), a harder material but not so difficult to carve; 2. Ganesh with more simple and more rounded forms; they use the "suar", or a beautiful rare ebony coming from other islands. Most used is the suar wood, since its hue, once treated with boot-polish or varnish, has a red-brownish color. Many shopkeepers state that suar is mahogany (Swietenia mahagoni), a tree which grows in Java. But, in reality, mahogany is an expensive material and suar (sometimes called rain tree wood) is another tree, Pithecellobium saman.

Among the characters of the Wayang Kulit (shadow theatre), from the Mahabharata and the Ramayana epics, one can see the Ganesh puppet. Puppets are made from female buffalow skin.

Thanks for a detailed description.In India Ganesh is regarded as a deity whose blessings is essential for any good successful work(Siddhidwata,meaning thereby a deity granting success) & in Maharashtra during September-October a four day long Ganesh festival is performed with pomp & grandure.
