Ganesha Statue, Bukit Mas, Limbang History, Hindu DeityAbstract
In 1922, a significant artifact was accidentally uncovered at Bukit Mas, Limbang: a statue of Ganesha, the Hindu deity depicted with an elephant head and a human body. This discovery is noteworthy, particularly given the limited historical research on Limbang. To address this, the research will employ a historical analysis method, previous scholarly studies, and historical records to contextualize the Ganesha statue within Limbang's historical narrative. This approach aims to initiate a detailed discussion about the statue's significance and its implications for our understanding of the region's past.
