Why does Ganesha have a round belly? Our elders say it is because he holds the whole universe within him—the oceans, the forests, the gods and humans, even our joys and worries. That is why he is called Lambodar , the one with the great belly. In the colors of Madhubani, he comes alive again—calm, wise, playful. A reminder that to live fully, we must carry the world within us, yet walk with ease and laughter.
