Jaṅghoru (जङ्घोरु) refers to “one’s calves and thighs”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.14 (“The Gaṇas argue and wrangle”).—Accordingly, after Pārvatī’s friends spoke to Gaṇeśa: “On hearing the words of the friend and his mother Gaṇeśvara became highly delighted, strengthened and lifted up. Girting up his loins, tying his turban firmly and clapping his calves and thighs (jaṅghoru) [jaṃghoru saṃspṛśan], he spoke fearlessly to all the Gaṇas”.
