Shriparni Sevan Wood Ganesha

Hand-Carved Ganesha in Shriparni, the Tree of Wealth

Shriparni, also called Sevan, is the wood behind this idol and the reason people seek it out. Vedic tradition treats it as Swayam Siddha, self-energised, which is why a Ganesha carved from it is kept for prosperity rather than only for looks.

The carving is done by hand, with the trunk, crown and posture worked to give the face a settled, peaceful expression.

Where people keep it

13cm is a practical height, small enough for a car dashboard or an office desk drawer-top, tall enough to be the main idol on a modest puja altar. It is commonly placed in the wealth corner of the house.
