Arca Ganesa have long been hundreds or thousands of years abandoned in the forest and have suffered severe damage. The head does not form a facial shape anymore, but still looks the trunk sculptures below, distended abdomen, and legged legs. This site has been restored and the perimeter security fence.

Suspected damage to rock material is easily eroded by water, wind and tree branches. The cause of damage by biological factors is probably due to the influence of humans and fungi that aggravate rocks. There is no specific treatment to prevent damage and do not have further information about this site.



Ganesha is one of the famous gods in Hinduism and has the title of the God of knowledge and intelligence, a protective god, a disaster-repelling god and a god of wisdom. Paintings and sculptures are found in various parts including India, Indonesia, Nepal and Tibet.

Reliefs, statues and paintings often depict elephant-headed, four-armed and fat-bodied. Ganesha is also known as Bhatara Gana, Ganapati, Winayaka and Pilleyar. This figure is considered as one of Shiva's sons. Various sects within Hinduism adore it without regard to the group. Worship is so extensive that it is carried out by Jaina and Buddhists.

Although known to have many attributes, an elephant-shaped head makes it easy to recognize. Ganesha is famous as "the exorcist of all obstacles" and is more commonly known as "God when starting work", "Protector of art and science", and "God of intelligence and wisdom".



This deity was honored to start a ceremony and was called as a protector of writing for the purpose of writing in the ceremony. Ganesha emerged as a certain deity with a character that was typical in the 4th to 5th century AD during the Gupta period, although inherited in pre-Vedic traits.

Fame rose rapidly and entered among the five main deities in Smarta's teachings in the 9th century. The cult of worshipers called Ganapatya who considered Ganesha the main deity, emerged during that period. The main books dedicated to Ganesha are Ganesha Purana, Mudgalapurana, and Ganapati Atharwashirsa.

God is tools

OPINION - God and spirit are controversial discussions in science and even mythology will have no place among naturalists and for Darwinians. Apparently this has been final that mythology is a delusional, mystical and superstitious concept that cannot be empirically proven in the world of science.

Most scientists and science activists have agreed that god is nonsense, delusional and cannot be accommodated in the theory of evolution. This opinion can be understood methodologically and I agree with the sentences. But so many behaviors are very real and occur in the field.


I am a fieldman who goes to the wild every day, along rice fields and forests to watch insects to plants, talk to people especially in villages, visit Hindu-Buddhist temples built in the 8th century, witnessing busyness in mosques, temples and churches.

I feel something is missing in the view of naturalists and Darwinians. There are short moments that are missed in analyzes in the timeline of human evolution. These lit…
