Ganesha (Sanskrit: गणेश; also known as Ganapati (Sanskrit: गणपति), Vinayaka (Sanskrit: विनायक) is one of the deities best-known and most widely worshipped in the Hindu religion.
Although he is known by many other attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him particularly easy to identify.
Ganesha is widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles and more generally as Lord of Beginnings and Lord of Obstacles (Vighnesha) (Sanskrit: विघ्नेश), Vighneshvara (Sanskrit: विघ्नेश्वर), patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom.
He is honoured at the beginning of rituals and ceremonies and invoked as Patron of Letters during writing sessions.
