The stone sculpture of Dancing Ganesha (Narthana Ganesha). This reddish-brown sandstone sculpture was created in central or eastern Madhya Pradesh during the first half of the 10th century. It depicts Ganesha in a dynamic, swaying dance known as Nritya Ganesha. His weight rests on a slightly bent left leg, while his right leg is relaxed and stretched to the side, capturing a mid-movement transition.

The Vidisha District Museum houses an extensive collection of such 9th to 10th-century sculptures, primarily excavated from nearby historic sites like Besnagar and Gyaraspur. The collection spans Mauryan-Shunga era (2nd century BCE) through the Gupta period (4th-6th centuries CE) to the early medieval (8th-12th centuries CE) Paramara times.
