↑ "Ganesha getting ready to throw his lotus. Basohli miniature, circa 1730. National Museum, New Delhi!. Attired in an orange dhoti, his body is entirely red. On the three points of his tiny crown, budding lotuses have been fixed. Gaṇeśa holds in his two right hands the rosary and a cup filled with three modakas (a fourth substituted by the curving trunk is just about to be tasted). In his two left hands, Gaṇeśa holds a large lotus above and an axe below, with its handle leaning against his shoulder. In the Mudgalapurāṇa (VII, 70), in order to kill the demon of egotism (Mamāsura) who had attacked him, Gaṇeśa Vighnarāja throws his lotus at him. Unable to bear the fragrance of the divine flower, the demon surrenders to Gaṇeśa." For quotation of description of the work, see: Martin-Dubost (1997), p. 73.

Getty, p. 1. "Gaṇeśa, Tuan Gaṇas, walaupun di kalangan dewa-dewa yang terkini dianggap sebagai pantheon Brahmanik, telah, dan masih, yang paling secara universal dipuji dari semua dewa-dewa Hindu, dan imejnya didapati hampir di setiap bahagian India."
