To me, it looks like an artist's impression of making that statue. Here He is armed with a Trishul, Pasha (the noose), and instead of Modaka or sweet, He has a conch. Around His neck, there is a snake which is a bit unusual because the snake is usually wrapped around His stomach. Here the Lord resembles his father Lord Shiva's image. I say this not just for the snake around his neck but also the trident or Trishul marked on His forehead. There are references of Lord Ganesh with several heads and Him mounting on a lion where He is known as Simha Ganapati. Simha which denotes the lion. So far I haven't come across any photograph, painting or carvings that resembles the picture that you have sent. Nevertheless, I will still keep researching and keep you informed. Hello again,

I haven't seen Lord Ganesh riding a three-headed elephant. Could you tell us in which context have you come across this image and where? The Lord has used peacock as his mount but an elephant? You are absolutely right, the elephant Airavat is the mount of Lord Indra, but he is not depicted with 3 heads. If you have seen such an image, do send it across. We would love to put it up and ask our readers if anyone is aware of it. Thanks Hello,
