Right-sided trunk: An idol of Ganapati with the trunk

curved towards the right is called dakshinmurti or

dakshi­nabhimukhi murti (the idol facing the south).

Dakshin means the southern direction or the right

side. The southern direction leads to the region of

Lord Yama (Yamalok), the deity of death while the

right side belongs to the Surya nadi (Sun channel).

One who is able to face the direction of the region of

Yama is powerful. So also, one with an activated Surya

nadi is also radiant. Thus in both senses, the

Ganapati idol with the trunk curved towards the right

is said to be ‘active (jagrut)’

 

 

Left-sided trunk: An idol of Ganapati with the trunk

curved towards the left is called Vamamukhi. Vam means

the northern direction or the left side. The Chandra

nadi (Moon channel) is situated to the left. It

bestows tranquility. Besides, since the northern

direction is spiritually favourable and bestows Bliss

(Anand), mostly the Vamamukhi Ganapati is worshipped.

It is worshipped ritualistically in the usual manner.
