Hindu tradition reveres the Peepal tree as a divine being, the abode of gods, including the elephant-faced Ganesha. The similarity between the form of a Peepal leaf and the head of Ganesa- broad on top and narrow at the bottom, makes it a perfect choice for creating representations of Ganesha. 

This door knocker is inspired by the similarity and connection between Ganesha and the Peepal leaf. Crafted with pure brass, the knocker features the countenance of Ganesha- with a Trishula (trident) and Tripunda (both marks of Shiva) and a lotus vine adorning him. The eyes of Ganesha are especially animated, making the door knocker a heavenly element to have in any space.
