According to Vastu Shastra, the trunk of the Lord Ganesha should be tilted towards his left side. This symbolizes happiness, success and is said to bring auspicious results.

Never purchase an idol of Lord Ganesha with trunk towards its right. It is not an inauspicious, but since the right direction represents the Lod Sun and its powers, one will have to follow all the religious rituals very strictly while worshipping the Lord Ganesha. It is advised that one should not keep two Ganesh idols at home. The right trunk Ganesh idols are worshipped fervently and religiously. The Ganesh idol at the famous Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai is an idol with its trunk curved to the right.

The right side trunk is called Siddhi Vinayaka. Siddhi, one of the wives of Ganpati resides to his right and hence, the idol with a trunk curved to the right is called Siddhi Vinayaka.

Just as the left sided trunk stands for prosperity, the right sided trunk stands for freedom from all worldly pleasures and the attainment of Moksha. It is not for house-keepers as people with families have duties and cannot let go of pleasures.

Thus, the right-sided idols are found only in temples. The right sided idol also signifies the Pingala Nadi or the energy of the sun. Just like the sun can create as well as destroy, this Ganpati can bring you happiness if worshipped the correct way or destruction if uncared for. The Valampuri Ganesha must be cared for according to vedic customs and rituals.

This is the rarest of the lot and hardly ever found. But it also has the deepest significance. It means that the Sushuma Nadi is now open and that there is complete oneness between all the body senses and the divinity is complete. Ganesha is also patron of letters and of learning, he is the legendary scribe who, using his broken tusk, which he often holds, wrote down parts of the Mahabharata epic. We can witness Lord Ganesha trunk in different directions. It can be to the left, to the right, or straight to the front.

Every direction signifies a different meaning and people should choose the Murti accordingly. An important thing to keep in mind is to check the beginning curve of the trunk not the end of the curve.

If you are planning to place the Idol in Home or Office, the left side trunk statue is highly recommended as it is the calmest and coolest form of deity. The left side trunk is associated with Ida Nadi and is considered the coolest form of deity. It is also related to the moon. It is a more feminine cooling, nourishing, and calm form of the Deity.
