Image title: Figure 95. Nataraja Sannidhi
Description of the photo
As we go around the Garbha Graha in Pradaksinam there is a Nataraja Sannidhi decicated to Lord Nataraja. As we proceed doing the Pradaksinam around
the temple we come to the Nirutti Vinayakar Sannidhi. To the right side on the wall of the main shrine we find a small idol of Nartana Ganapati. Lord Ganapati is in a dancing pose. He is holding Parasu in one hand and the other hand is hidden by the Vastra draped around him.
