Ganesha Prayers

Ganesha is one of the most well-known and worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon. He is easily recognized by his elephant head and human body. He is revered as the god of new beginnings, the remover of obstacles (Vighnaharta), and the patron of arts and sciences. Devotees often invoke Ganesha before starting any new venture, journey, or work to ensure success and overcome hurdles. His iconography includes a single tusk (Ekadanta), a large belly, and four arms holding various attributes. The mouse, Mushika, serves as his humble vehicle, symbolizing his ability to overcome all obstacles, no matter how small or significant.
