Guest guest Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 I have visited one temple in Tamil Nadu which is for Lord Ganesha with a human head. Legend is that this temple was dedicated to him prior to him having an elephant head. Ranganath - akka_108 abhinavagupta Sunday, September 07, 2003 3:22 AM [Y-Indology] iconography of Ganesha Are there forms of Ganesha with a human head? I know that his head was cut of and replaced with that of an elephant, however, Indian gods have many forms and aspects, so I think that Lord Ganesha also should have iconographic representations that show him with a human head.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Which temple was that? Was Ganesha portrayed as a boy in that temple?
