A Year in Pictures – Ganesha at Halebidu

Ganesha is a popular Hindu deity, particularly known for his connection with obstacles, particularly the removal thereof. As such, you find images of him everywhere. This one was sitting somewhat randomly in the park behind the Halebidu temple in Kerala; it was not the only piece of sculpture that seemed to have been parked out there until the people maintaining the temple decided what to do with it.

Because why not

I’ve decided to give away an ARC of The Tropic of Serpents to one lucky respondent. To enter, all you have to do is name your favorite dragon, either in the comments or @swan_tower on Twitter. You have until I wake up tomorrow, so say roughly 11 a.m. PST.
