Lord Ganesh is one of the most popular and worshipped deities in Hinduism. He is known as the god of beginnings, remover of obstacles, and patron of arts and sciences. He is also called by many other names such as Ganesha, Vinayaka, and Vighnaharta.
Lord Ganesh is depicted as a plump and jolly elephant-headed god, often shown riding a mouse or with one of his tusks broken off. He is believed to be the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, and has a brother named Lord Kartikeya.
Lord Ganesh is worshipped before the beginning of any auspicious occasion, such as weddings, new businesses, and even exams, to ensure a successful and obstacle-free outcome. He is also associated with wisdom, learning, and intelligence, and is often seen as a protector and guide for his devotees. His popularity extends beyond the Hindu religion and is widely venerated in other religions such as Jainism and Buddhism.
