According to the legends around Nritya Ganapati, some mention that mirroring the Laasya of Parvati, a dance of auspiciousness and creation, Ganesha dances majestically, thus carrying the beauty, animation, and propitiousness of Uma in this roopa. The Panchaloha tradition captures the dynamism and exquisiteness of dancing Ganesha, in bronze statues such as this one, where the serenity and animation of the plump dancing Ganapati are balanced iconographically.
Here we see Ganesha placed on a bronze platform, whose make suggests that it is used in carrying the icon in festive processions. With his right leg raised in the Kunchita pose, a regally ornamented Ganesha commands devotion. The Shadabhuja or six-armed roopa of Ganesha is comparatively rare, which comes accompanied by two Gana, who rejoice while witnessing the Lila of their Lord Ganapati.
