Ganesha Elephant Trunk, Stripes and Torus Symbols

Elephant trunk. Stripes. In 500 milliseconds you can decide, it just looks like art, I don't know and I don't care.

Or you might read a few paragraphs and then keep scrolling, which is understandable. Even experienced symbol researchers might do that, because stripes have no religion-taught importance.

I do this sort of post to 'show my work', even if no conclusion can be made yet. There ARE some useful conclusions in the first half.

Image A has a stylized elephants trunk, extending out past a circular barrier (yellow highlights) and presumably holding a red fruit or candy, which Ganesha often does. In full statues, Ganesha has a big round belly representing the body torus, and the trunk extends to a side flow going upward ( shown by a fruit cone).

When an elephants trunk is down, it's flow direction is inward to the forehead portal. Conversely, when it's trunk goes upward, it's a high density flow going to the side and the upward, usually. Image D has stacked flowers showing this flow direction. Image E has a bell, which also always means an upward flow direction.

The conche in image B, holy moley, sometimes it's drawn like an elephants trunk. This lower part of a conche is supposed to be downward and bidirectional flow. Thus the white elephant trunk is for the upward flow, and the pink area with the curvy stripes, presumably is marking a downward high-density flow.

Image C is a conche example where the blue color is the outward flow and the purple is the inward flow. I'm not making this up. I've posted about these topics before, maybe a year or two ago, with different image evidence but same conclusion.

Image F's conche has two styles of markings, some curvy horizontal lines, and some vertical things. What do those mean? Probably 2 different flow directions and different energy densities.

It's a pattern seen many places. On image G's legs, which interchanged a fish, I think the fishhead half is upward, and the curvy horizontal lines are downward.

Image H and I have sort of the same 2 markings. But this time, the tiger or leopard stripes seem to be downward. Image S also shows different markings for each half of the legs, but no hint about the meaning. We can only guess that one is opposite flow direction of the other.

While studying bird symbols that serve as portals, image M, P, Q and R, the wings sometimes have 2 styles of markings. It could be a way to say "this portal has 2 kinds of flow".

Another place with 2 styles of markings is when folded wings make upper side mounds, image J, K, L, N and O. The space between the side mounds is the portal for vertical central flow. Those wing mounds, are for side flow portals.

That's all folks. An uneasy uncertainty of sometimes conflicting evidence. But it'll be decodable eventually.
