This painting by M. F. Husain features his iconic portrayal of the Hindu deity Ganesha, depicted with a distinct, modernist twist. Husain's Ganesha is presented in vibrant colors with bold, simplified shapes, which reflect the artist's unique ability to blend traditional Indian themes with contemporary expression. The deity’s yellow face and playful expression bring a sense of joy and liveliness to the composition, while his flute-playing posture adds an element of grace and celebration.

The background is segmented into various warm and cool tones, creating a vivid contrast that emphasizes the central figure of Ganesha. To the left, the green leaves and circular forms add a symbolic touch, possibly representing fertility and prosperity, both of which are attributes often associated with Ganesha. The smaller, playful figure of Ganesha on the right side appears to be dancing, enhancing the scene's dynamic energy.

This work encapsulates Husain’s mastery in reinterpreting cultural icons, presenting Ganesha in a way that is both rooted in tradition and engaging for a modern audience.
