	- Dancing Ganapati
		Ganapati, the central figure in this superb painting, is associated with good fortune, auspicious beginnings, and the successful overcoming of obstacles.
		A four-armed monkey at Ganapati's left proffers an offering cup in his central pair of hands; he holds two rather curious additional offerings in his other hands: a vegetal stem surmounted by an erect phallus and a bowl of sweets surmounted by a vulva.
