Ganesha
The Uttarakamikagama text provides sufficient details of the iconography
of Vinayaka (another name for Ganesha). According to this text, and
as depicted here, Vinayaka, the chief of the ganas, has an elephant
face, a protruding belly and wears a nagayajnopavita. He has four
arms, a single tusk and ears like a fan.
He is seated over a lotus seat. He is
holding a noose and an arrow in two of his arms. The other right
hand is held in the posture of granting boons. The fourth hand holds
a jack-fruit or a modak, signifying bounty.
