Santhosh Sivaram and Lucky Ganesha were more two sides of one coin. The man and his products, glass blown miniature images, mostly of lord Ganesha.
This resident of Alwarpet passed away on May 8. Peacefully at night, his family said in an Obit advert in The Hindu where Jammu Seshadri and Ravi Sivaram paid tribute on Sunday.
Born June 1, 1951, Santhosh studied at Vivekananda College, Mylapore and was a small entrepreneur in later life when he struck upon an idea of glass miniatures and branded them well to get people’s attention.
When he came across a community contest, he would ping the hosts and offer a few Ganeshas as his free gifts to offer as prizes.
He was on his own and resided in Alwarpet’s C P Ramaswamy Road.
Said his cousin sister Janaki Sabesh in a written tribute; Santhosh had his first shop in Eldorado complex, Nungambakkam. A few years, later he operated out of a bigger showroom at Alsa Mall Egmore. His exquisite work in glass, with over 200 designs got exported to Europe, US, Singapore and Sri Lanka.
