In the past, right-wing Hindutva organizations have taken issue with artist M F Husain's depictions of Indian deities, but recently, a guest of a swish five-star in Mumbai raised similar objections about a painting of Lord Ganesha in the form of an irate letter. The untitled Husain, which depicts a child Ganesha resting on his mother's lap, was displayed in the lobby of Juhu's JW Marriott Hotel as part of an ongoing exhibition of 75 artists' works, Manifestations XI. It was immediately removed by the Delhi Art Gallery (DAG), which has organized the show in collaboration with the Marriott.
In his letter, the protester asked why Lord Ganesha had been portrayed with a "nude woman", said Kishore Singh, head of exhibitions and publications at DAG. "There was a form of a woman, his mother," explained Singh. "It's a pity that someone chooses to see it like this. But when you want to see something in a particular manner you will," he added.
