A Buddha sculpture typically depicts the Buddha, the founder of Buddhism and the embodiment of enlightenment. The Buddha is usually depicted in one of a few specific postures, each of which conveys a different meaning. The most common posture is the "sitting Buddha," which shows the Buddha in a seated position with his legs crossed and his hands resting in his lap in a specific mudra or hand gesture.

Ganesha sculpture typically depicts the Hindu god Ganesha, who is known as the "Lord of Beginnings" and the "Remover of Obstacles." Ganesha is usually depicted as a plump and pot-bellied figure with an elephant head, large ears, and a broad, friendly face. He is often depicted holding a bowl of sweets or a platter of fruits, symbolizing his role as the god of prosperity and good fortune.
