When turned to His left side (as above), Shri Ganesha's trunk signifies blessing. When turned to His right, it represents destruction of negativity. It is usual for artists to depict the more benign turning of the trunk.

"I think everybody must have a statue of Shri Ganesha in their house. The children will see it and ask, "Who is He? What is He doing?" And you will be amazed how they will understand His qualities and how they will work it out.
It is important for all of you to have at least one Shri Ganesha in your house, so that you can tell your children that you have to become like Him.
Now what are the qualities of Shri Ganesha? They won't understand chastity, they are too small, they won't understand all those qualities. But one quality they will understand is to be honest."
-HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 2003
