Ganesha getting ready to throw his lotus. Basohli miniature.Source: This work is reproduced and described in Martin-Dubost, Paul (1997). Gaņeśa: The Enchanter of the Three Worlds. Mumbai: Project for Indian Cultural Studies. ISBN 81-900184-3-4, p. 73, which says: "Attired in an orange dhoti, his body is enitirely red. On the three points of his tiny crown, budding lotuses have been fixed. Gaá¹‡eśa 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, Gaá¹‡eśa holds a large lotus above and an axe below, with its handle leaning against his shoulder. In the Mudgalapurāá¹‡a (VII, 70), in order to kill the demon of egotism (Mamāsura) who had attacked him, Gaá¹‡eśa Vighnarāja throws his lotus at him. Unable to bear the fragrance of the divine flower, the demon surrenders to Gaá¹‡eśa."
