Green Ganesh at Sidoi Hotel , Kuta , Bali , Indonesia 
Beautiful Ganesh I clicked at  Sidoi Hotel ,Jalan Benesari , Kuta , Bali , Indonesia . Gold color embellishments and green color which Nature has offered adds a spectacular view of Ganesh . 

The platform where Ganesh is sitting is covered with a Yellow piece of cloth as practiced in Balinese Hindu ritual worshiping. 

Two side pots contain water and Lotus flowers . Water Element and Lotus Flowers are Symbolic of Purity and considered  Sacred . One front big pot has Kalamakra face with Green Grass. 

Offerings ( Balinese way) made to Ganesh can be seen placed on the front Pot grass. 

The Indonesian version of Ganesh is unlike Indian version where SKULLS are used as embellishments and Ganesh idol is depicted here with gold color skull ornament on the forehead.
