Hindu Deity hands usually hold objects. These objects symbolize powers or functions of the God. Some of these objects represent weapons that Deity used to fight demons and negative forces.
The axe (parashu) is a very common emblem of Ganesh. Most times, he holds it in the upper right hand. The axe originally comes from Shiva (one among the three Lords of Hindu community i.e. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva) and is vested in the Shaiva deities (except for Parashurâma, a Vishnu avatar, who receives it from Shiva). The axe symbolizes the destruction of desires and attachments, and all their results like troubles and sorrows.
These Om, Trishul and Parashu weapons are made in copper with gold polish for Gods and Goddesses decorations.
