Traditionally depicted four-armed Ganesha mandorla and decorative supporting elements atop the stepped base suggest a provenance of northern India. In the regions surrounding the Sultej river, many of the arts of Kashmir were absorbed, but retained in a more folkish style.

The mandorla itself, with circular details surrounding the outer band, is reminiscent of works from Uttar Pradesh.
