Unknown deity

[D.G.Damle]

That is Ganesha - the Elephant headed god!  The picture isn't terribly clear, but I seems to see the trunk.  If you have other photos, look for his vehicle, a mouse!

	Are you referring to the human figure, or to the snake?

	Dear Colleagues,
	                          A colleague of mine has sent me this photo of an
	unknown deity. As the text on the photo shows, it was taken at Sri Rangam.
	If anybody could throw light on the identity of the deity, I would be most
	obliged,
	The photo is within a word file. Please view the file to see the photo.
	Many thanks in advance,
	Best regards,
	
	R.Doctor
