Try holding a tiny Ganesha idol in your hand whenever you feel overwhelmed— the little copper charm can anchor you in a swirl of deadlines. NEWPAR The idol, about 10cm tall, is usually crafted from copper or brass and sells for roughly ₹800. Its smooth surface feels cool, almost like a tiny meditation stone. NEWPAR Place it on your desk or bedside table. When stress spikes, inhale, hold the idol, and silently repeat a short mantra such as ‘Om Ganeshaya Namaha’. But if you prefer something heavier, a 15cm stone Ganesha might suit. NEWPAR Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla shared a clip from the ISS where the idol floated beside him, a visual reminder that calm can exist even in zero gravity. NEWPAR You can pick up a similar figurine at local temple shops or order online from Amazon India for under ₹1,000. Give yourself that tiny anchor during the chaos.
