Das sanfte Lächeln des Buddha
Sandstein-Kopf eines Buddha aus der Ayutthaya-Periode
Der Kopf des Erleuchteten – Symbol innerer Ruhe und Ausgeglichenheit
In den ersten Jahrhunderten nachdem der historische Buddha lehrte gab es kein Abbild vom ihm, sondern lediglich Symbole für den Buddhismus, wie etwa das drehende Rad der Lehre oder den symbolischen Fußabdruck. In dieser Anfangszeit des Buddhismus wurde der Buddha nicht als göttliches Wesen vorgestellt und verehrt.
Erst im Laufe vieler Jahrhunderte, in denen sich der Buddhismus im asiatischen Raum ausbreitete, bildete sich das Bedürfnis heraus, Buddha als ein strahlend göttliches Wesen zu repräsentieren und zu verkörpern. Dies zeigte sich insbesondere in der figürlichen buddhistischen Kunst.

Vierarmiger Ganesha (Gaṇeśa)
Begleitet von Girlandenträgern und einem Gana (gaṇa)
Ganesha (Gaṇeśa) ist eine der am weitesten verbreiteten hinduistischen Gottheiten Indiens. In der Literatur, den sogenannten purāṇa, finden sich umfangund zahlreiche Beschreibungen Ganeshas, die sich sowohl auf seine Herkunft und seine Ikonographie als auch auf seine Bedeutung bzw. Rolle im hinduistischen Pantheon beziehen.
Ganesha hat eine Vielzahl von Namen und Bedeutungen, für welche er verehrt wird. Zu den bekanntesten zählen seine Rolle als Vighneśa (auch: Vighneśvara), der Beherrscher der Hindernisse. In dieser Funktion wird die Gottheit verehrt als diejenige, die den Menschen sowohl materielle als auch spirituelle Hindernisse in den Weg legen kann, diese aber auch beseitigen kann.
Als Spender von Wohlergehen und glückverheißenden Dingen wird er unter dem Namen Mangaladātā verehrt. Als erfolgsverleihende Gottheit wird er mit Siddhidātā bezeichnet. Als Weisheitsgott nennt man ihn Buddhividhātā, während die Bezeichnung Parmabrahman seine Eigenschaft als das höchte Wesen beschreibt. Ganesha wird auch gaṇa-īśa genannt, Herr der Ganas, einer Form von Begleitwesen im hinduistischen Pantheon.
