Ganesh ji's picture remains on the 20000 note of Indonesia country of Asia. Here 87.5 percent of the population believes in the religion of Islam and there is only 3 percent Hindu population. Despite this there is so and different reasons are given for it.
It is believed that during the economic recession of Asia in 1997, the price of currency fell in many countries including Indonesia. During this time, Indonesia's currency also fell so low against the dollar that there was a severe economic crisis in the country. It can be called a coincidence, but it is true that after the photo of Ganesh ji was printed on the 20,000 note in 1998, the economic condition of Indonesia and its currency had improved rapidly in 1999. In Indonesia, Lord Ganesha is considered a symbol of education, art and science and hence he has been given a special place on the note there.
You will be surprised to know that in this country, not only Ganesh, an airline operates in Indonesia in the name of Garuda, which is called the vehicle of Lord Vishnu. In Indonesia, stamps have been issued in the names of the Pandavas along with Ganesh, Krishna and Hanuman. Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, also houses a huge statue called Arjuna Vivah, which depicts the scene of the Mahabharata. The National Album of Indonesia is also called Garuda Panchsheel.
The logo of Lord Ganesha is also on the logo of Bandung Institute of Technology, a prestigious engineering college in Indonesia. Not only this, a huge statue of goddess of learning Saraswati has been installed outside the Embassy of Indonesia in America. The mascot of the Indonesian Army is Hanuman ji, and a famous tourist destination there is a statue of Arjun and Shri Krishna. Arjun and Shri Krishna are also remembered as excellent policy makers.
