Ganesh

Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity, is one of the most widely revered gods in Hinduism and also honored in Buddhist traditions, especially in Vajrayana. Known as the remover of obstacles and the god of beginnings, wisdom, and prosperity, Ganesha is often worshipped at the start of rituals, ceremonies, and important ventures. Mythologically, he is the son of Shiva and Parvati, and his elephant head symbolizes wisdom, understanding, and a discriminating intellect. One famous story tells of Ganesha being created by Parvati from clay to guard her while she bathed; when Shiva unknowingly tried to enter, Ganesha blocked him, leading to a dramatic confrontation that ended with Shiva giving Ganesha an elephant’s head. His four hands hold sacred objects, typically a goad, prayer bead, broken tusk and sweet modaka. Each represents spiritual and material qualities, guiding devotees in overcoming obstacles, achieving knowledge, and attaining success. In Buddhist practice, Ganesha is also revered as a deity who removes hindrances on the path to enlightenment, embodying both worldly and spiritual protection.
