Haridra Ganapati ((サンスクリット:हरिद्रा-गणपति), , literally "turmeric Ganesha") is an aspect of the Hindu god Ganesha (Ganapati). Haridra Ganapati is also known as Ratri Ganapati. Haridra Ganapati is depicted as yellow like turmeric and wears yellow garments. He is one of the most popular thirty-two forms of Ganesha. ==Iconography== The iconographical treatises ''Niyotsava'' and the ''Mantra-maharnava'' have similar descriptions of Haridra Ganapati. He is described as having three eyes. He sits on a golden throne. He is yellow-complexioned like turmeric and also wears yellow clothes. He has four arms and carries a ''pasha'' (noose), an ''ankusha'' (elephant goad), a ''modaka'' (sweet) and the ''danta'' (his own broken tusk) in his four hands.〔Yadav pp. 23–4〕 He draws his devotees closer by the noose, while goads them in the right direction by the ''ankusha''. The ''Dakshinamnaya'' mentions that Haridra Ganapati has six arms and sits on a jewelled throne, in addition to his yellow colour and yellow vestments. His three right hands hold the ankusha and display the ''krodha-mudra'' (the gesture of anger) and ''abhayamudra'' (the gesture of protection). His left hands carry the pasha, a ''parashu'' (battle-axe) and displays the ''varadamudra'' (gesture of boon-giving).〔 Other references to the deity describe his face to be ointed with turmeric; him wearing a yellow ''yagnopavita'' ("sacred thread") besides his turmeric complexion and clothes. He is described holding a ''pasha'', an ''ankusha'' and a staff.〔 In the ''Ajitāgama'', Haridra Ganapati is described as turmeric-colored and flanked by two unnamed wives.〔''Ajitāgama'' Vol. III. 55.18.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Haridra Ganapati」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
