Topic Research: Ganesha and Iconography

I decided to mix two of my topics and make them into one. So I am going to research the iconography of the god Ganesha.

Ganesha: The Remover of All Obstacles:
One story I can use to start off with the iconography of Ganesha is probably the biggest one there is; how he got his elephant head. There is a copy of the book at bizzell library.

Hindu Gods & Goddesses:
This is a book that I have at home, and it is a very good reference to the iconography for Ganesha.

The Little Book of Hindu Deities:
Another book I have at home this one also tells some stories of Ganesha.

A storytelling style I was thinking of using was where I would retell the stories of how Ganesha got the objects that are part of his iconography.

Introduction To a Future Architect

My name is Trishna Patel and I'm a second year architecture major. My main hobby (if you can consider it one) is watching tv mostly tv shows, documentaries, and anime. I also like to watch movies. Mostly action and sci-fi movies but also ones based off of real life stories. I absolutely love all the Marvel movies and the Harry Potter movies. I also like to read books mostly young adult and romance books. If I'm not doing either of the two I'm usually in my studio classroom in Gould Hall doing whatever project I was assigned.

Kilimanjaro and a week long sa
