The composition.
The elephant head and seated form strongly identify Ganesha as the devotional centre. Ganesha is associated with auspicious beginnings and obstacles in Hindu tradition (general Ganesha iconography reference). The surrounding scenes form a separate narrative field, but have not been individually identified. Their presence does not establish that every scene recounts an episode from Ganesha's life.
These readings describe visible features and possible subjects. A maker-confirmed title, provenance, materials and the identities of unresolved figures are not yet documented.
