In my hometown which is very strong influenced of Chinese Culture, an orange is almost everyday in a house or in a pot as an orange-tree in front of the house.

The bright orange color of the fruits also symbolizes 'gold', hence it has an auspicious meaning to bring in good luck and wealth.

Ganesha - Even nearly 95% of Thailand's population are Buddhists, devotion to Ganesha is widely diffused and extends to Jains, Buddhists, and beyond India.

An elephant's trunk has the strength to uproot a tree as well as the finesse to pick up a needle.

Ganesha's trunk symbolises the fact that the wise person has both immense strength and fine discrimination. Ganesha has large ears. The wise person hears all. He has four hands. In one hand he holds a lotus, the symbol of enlightenment. In the other hand he holds a hatchet. That is, the old karma, all your sanskars, the accumulated good and bad of past deeds get cut when enlightenment comes.
