Sculpture of the Hindu god 
          Ganesha (fig.) 
depicted with multiple arms and
		attributes, while performing a dance 
reminiscent of    
 
 Shiva's
Nataraja, i.e. his cosmic dance of
truth and energy
(fig.). 
In the same way as in Indian homes (fig.), 
this statue is placed at the southwestern corner of the temple, making it the 
first deity that one encounters when making a  
pradakshina, i.e. 
a clockwise circular procession around a temple.
