Explanation: Ganapati Nāga is regarded as a powerful ruler of the Northern Nāga dynasty. The Gopeshwar Trident (Trishul) inscription mentions his deeds and the establishment of power, including the installation of a trident in front of the Rudramahālaya. This act symbolized both political authority and religious supremacy.
