The Birth of Ganesh is an experimental 3D animated short drawn directly from the Vedic Samhitas, offering a faithful retelling of the deity’s origin. Modeled entirely in Maya, the film uses handcrafted digital sculptures with textures sourced directly from Indian statuary held at the Art Institute of Chicago. Every frame is a meditation on sacred form—clay, bone, and divine energy rendered with reverence and restraint.

The narrative follows Parvati’s creation of Ganesh, Shiva’s fateful act of destruction, and the rebirth that transforms him into the elephant-headed remover of obstacles. Rather than modernize the tale, the film dwells in the mythic moment—where ritual, violence, and transcendence converge. The Birth of Ganesh remains part of our unreleased archive, a digital shrine built from ancient source.
