Lord Ganesha is one of the most widely worshipped and revered deities in Hinduism. He is known as the remover of obstacles, the god of beginnings, and the god of wisdom. His name is derived from two Sanskrit words: "Gana", meaning a group or a multitude, and "Isha"
Head of an Elephant: Lord Ganesha is most famously depicted with the head of an elephant, which symbolizes wisdom, understanding, and a high level of intellect. His large ears represent the ability to listen carefully, and his trunk symbolizes adaptability and the ability to overcome obstacles in life.
Big Belly: He is usually shown with a large, round belly, signifying abundance, prosperity, and the capacity to digest the experiences of life—both good and bad.
Mouse as His Vehicle (Vahana): Lord Ganesha rides a mouse, which symbolizes humility, adaptability, and the idea of overcoming even the smallest of obstacles. The mouse, despite being tiny, can gnaw through anything, symbolizing the power of determination.
