A Ganesha idol having its trunk curved towards the right, is called the ‘siddhi vinayaka’ and needs special worship. It is said that one should be very careful in worshipping such idols. The puja that is performed on such an idol is supposed to be done after fulfilling all religious requirements and by adhering to a strict code of conduct.
But why is the trunk curved to right so special and so strict? According to the nadi system of the human body espoused by Hinduism, there are three nadis or channels which are responsible for overall health - the left channel is called the Ida Nadi and is connected to the right side and the back of the brain. This channel caters to the left sympathetic nervous system and looks after our emotional life and our past.
The right side channel is called as the Pingala Nadi, which crosses Ida Nadi at Agnya Chakra (third eye) level. It is connected with the left side and the front of the brain. This channel caters to the right sympathetic nervous system, and is the supra-conscious mind. It creates our future.
