&
NO
GANESHA is a popular figure in Indian art and is represented in the Indian traditions in many ways, but with some common features
Ganesha has been represented with the head of an elephant since the early stages of his appearance in Indian art
Unlike those of some deities – representations of Ganesha show wide variations and distinct patterns changing over time with no one sole unique or distinct way
Ganesha may be portrayed standing, dancing, heroically taking action against demons, playing with his family as a boy, or sitting down on an elevated seat, or engaging in a range of contemporary situations

- Many common depictions of Ganesha feature four arms
- He holds his own broken tusk in his lower-right hand and holds a delicacy, which he samples with his trunk, in his lower-left hand
- The motif of Ganesha turning his trunk sharply to his left to taste a sweet in his lower-left hand is a particularly archaic feature
- In the standard configuration – Ganesha typically holds an axe or a goad in one upper arm and a pasha (noose) in the other upper arm
- In one modern form – the only variation from these old elements is that the lower-right hand does not hold the broken tusk but is turned towards the viewer in a gesture of protection or fearlessness (Abhaya mudra)
- The same combination of four arms and attributes occurs in statues of Ganesha dancing, which is a very popular theme
- SECTARIAN MARK : Upon Ganesha’s forehead may be a third eye or the sectarian mark (tilaka), which consists of three horizontal lines and / or / as well as a crescent on his forehead
