This group of musical and dancing Ganeshas is unique in the world. Not even India has a collection like this. Between 6ft and 9ft in height and weighing between 3 and a half to five tonnes each, they represent the absolute best of traditional Indian craftsmanship – with an Irish twist. It took the sculptor D.V. Murugan of Mahabalipuram in Tamil Nadu seven years to complete the group. Note the Irish Ganesh (locally called Paddyganesh, because he's playing an Oileann Pipe and wearing a Donegal tweed cap) on the right side.
From Dublin take the N11 south towards Wicklow. Turn right at Kilmacanogue towards Glendalough. After about 7 miles turn right towards Sally Gap (Route 759).
At the first crossroad (after 600 yards) turn left towards Roundwood. Road L1036.
You'll find the Indian Sculpture Park @ Victoria's Way, 300 yards up the road on the left.
Or:
From the northern edge of Roundwood, take the left fork road towards Sallygap (Road L1036) for about a mile and a bit. Victoria's Way is on the right.
