While traveling everywhere, Cleveland was the place where I stayed the most. Also it was the location to comeback while relocation. Apart from lake Erie there are many great things in Cleveland. For example Cleveland Museum of Arts. They have a 12th century Chola period. Bronze idol of Lord Ganesh which is 50.2 cm high.

This is the official description of the idol in the museum.
The elephant-headed Hindu god Ganesha is the lord of the ganas, the impish dwarf attendants of the god Shiva. Because Ganesha is the destroyer of obstacles, he is invoked at the beginning of every enterprise so that he can make the way smooth, remove distractions, and offer protection from evil. As the god of promising beginnings, he is popular throughout India. His most distinctive features are his head and pot belly. Among the things he holds in his hands are a battle-ax and a ball-like cake toward which he reaches with his trunk. His pot belly is full of the sweet cakes, the seeds of the universe.
Once, when the good-humored god was riding along on his mouse vehicle, the mouse tripped when a snake crossed its path. Ganesha fell, his belly burst open, and the sweets were scattered. He put them back in again and used the serpent as a rope around his belly.
