Victor's Way park, located near Roundwood in Wicklow County of Ireland, is a privately owned meditation garden notable for its black granite sculptures.The 9-hectare property includes a number of small lakes and forested areas.
Most of the park's statues are made of black granite, with some in bronze and range in height from 1.5m to 4.9m.
Eight statues are dedicated to Ganesha, showing the God dancing, reading, and playing musical instruments.
Notably, the Victoria’s Way collection of black granite Ganesha (Vinayaka) took about nine years to design, model and carve. The sculptures range in size from 5.6ft to 9ft and weigh between 2 and 5 tonnes.
The sculptures were envisioned and sketched in Roundwood by park owner Victor Langheld. The sculptures were later modelled by artist DV Murugan in Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, India. They were carved in Mahabalipuram by an outstanding sculptor, the stapathi master T Baskaran.
All the Ganesha sculptures were made in Tamil Nadu, India, and each took five craftsmen a year to make.
Other statues include a large python-shaped seat, a solitary index finger pointing at the sky, and interpretations of Buddha, Shiva, Eve, and others.
