The currency, the Rupiah note of Indonesiatoo, has an image of ganesha on it which depicts him as the Divinity of numbers and Knowledge.( rupiah note is in the image above).The concept of Ganesha was prevalent far and wide from faraway centeral America to Europe to Asia, more than 2500 years back itself.
One of Ganesha Statues is found in Indonesia which is the largest among all statues in Indonesia. The name of the statue is "Sri Maha Ganesha Monument". It is at an impressive height of 18.5 metres from the ground and then the statue of ganesha is 9 meters tall. The statue is in sitting position, accompnied by his sacred vehicle Moushaka (moshaka).ganesha here is potrayed with four arms, holding a weapon, a rosary, sweets and a swastika.One of the amazing things about this statue is that it is surrounded by 204 flags from around the world symbloising that Ganesha sheds holy light on all humans, which again shows he is the symbol of Knowledge.
