A small statuette of the Hindi god Ganesha. He was just there, perched on the rocks near the shore. Quite a neat statuette; I found it to be well-made and in great condition. Out of a kind of unstated and inferential courtesy, one does not remove or take these objects when they are seen, usually near the seaside. Some kind of prayer ritual normally occurred, and these statuettes are usually respectfully left where they are.

No, not fixed; the sea will probably carry it away one day. They are made of sand-based clay, and are therefore quite environmentally friendly. And yes, you have a good point; there is meant to be a kind of sacred aura about these statuettes because of the prayer and devotion, so I guess it would give good vibes to those who pass by. In fact, many folk stop to say their own few words when they come across these religious emblems.
Sharing luck with who pass… maybe
