Gada pendant made in oxide metal with hook. The gada is a blunt mace or club from India. It consists essentially of a spherical head mounted on a shaft, with a spike on the top. The gada is the main weapon of the Hindu god Hanuman, an avatara of Shiva. As the god of strength, Hanuman is traditionally worshipped by wrestlers in South and Southeast Asia. Vishnu, one of the deities making up the Hindu Trimurti, also carries a gada in one of his four hands. In the Mahabharata epic, the fighters Bhima, Duryodhana, Jarasandha, Balarama and others were said to be masters of the gada. The gada is one of the traditional pieces of training equipment in Hindu physical culture, and is common in the akhara of north India.
