GANAPATHY in Coconut shell

VINAYAKA  in Coconut Shell -craft

Vinataka/Vikneswara/Ganapathy birth day was just celebrated  as Vinayaka chathurthi. With Ganesha's blessings every thing will be good.  Those who believe in Hinduism, start every work with a pooja to Ganapathy.   In almost all Hindu temples, Vinayaka's presence is noticed.  That is with out Ganapathy,  no one is there.
So I try to offer my skill in the coconut shell craft to Ganesha by producing the Almighty with the coconut shells. I had used tender coconut shell too to have some contrast effect.  I think that I had moved one more step forward in the craft making. Vinayaka Sthuthi in Dr. Kalam's voice is included.    Here the craft is .

OOH.. KERA NADE..KERALAMAE - Coconut shell craft

KERA NADU KERALA- after flood-COCONUT SHELL CRAFT

Kerala flood made me to create a craft with coconut shells.

It is said that the name Kerala originates from kera (coconut).
As you are aware during 1924 there was a similar flood in Kerala which almost wiped out  every thing.  Almost after around 100 years ,the flood returned with the same fury but with less human loss.  This may be because  of technological advance. This 100 years made me to remember that life of a coconut tree is also around 100 years. It is being said ,now , by some environmenalists that similar flood may occur after around 100 years in Kerala.  You and me will not be here to experience  that.
Life of a coconut tree - period of occurance of flood in Kerala: there seems to be some link. Is n't it ? That is, if a coconut was planted during 1924, Kerala had seen a flood at the end of its life.  So if we plant a coconut now,  it will see a flood at its end of life-that is around 2118.
This flood has created much misery to kerala.  But all keralites united to recreate kerala to bring back its lost glory.

This thought put me to create this craft.   A full grown kera (coconut) tree was uprooted by this flood. That is Kerala has suffered a lot by this flood.  But we have the might to re-come with full energy just like a kera (coconut) sapling which is going to serve as for ever-at  least the next 100 years.

Dedicated to the saviours of this flood victims.
