In sculpture the position of Lord Ganesh's trunk has a symbolic meaning. If the trunk turns to the Ganesh's left, that is the direction for success in the world. It is a position associated with grihastas, or householders. To his right, the trunk represents moksha, good for renouncing the world. When one chooses a Ganesh sculpture that is proper for their own spiritual path the trunk position is one thing that is good to keep in mind. Ganesh's trunk is positioned to his left a position associated with grihastas.
Although he is known by many other attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify. Ganesha is widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles and more generally as Lord of Beginnings, patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. He is honoured at the beginning of rituals and ceremonies and invoked as Patron of Letters during writing sessions. Several texts relate mythological anecdotes associated with his birth and exploits and explain his distinct iconography. Ganesha is identified with the Hindu mantra Aum (also called Om). The term omkārasvarūpa (Aum is his form), when identified with Ganesha, refers to the notion that he personifies the primal sound.
Ganesh statue can be placed in your corporate office, your home and temple. It can also be presented to your near and dear ones.
