Ganesha is always portrayed as a jolly bringer of good wishes and gifts, so it was an interesting crossover to visualize him as Santa Claus v2.0 in a wintery landscape, carrying a huge sack of presents. And this time, I made his rat into his under-staffed helper elf team instead of an under-staffed reindeer team.
In an ideal crossover of jolly old men, I figured one of the best would be a combination of Ganesha and Santa Claus. They have a lot of similar qualities in terms of bringing happiness and prosperity to the world.
So here’s my take on the Ganesha Claus delivering gifts to all the good boys and girls around the world, with his pet rat standing in for the reindeer pulling the sleigh across a snowy winter landscape.
