Category: Ganesha

Ganesha is a symbol of knowledge, wealth and taking away problems. He comes from Goddess Parvati making him out of special clay. Shown with an elephant’s head and a big body, he represents intelligence, understanding and being humble. Stories tell us about his part as the problem solver, Vighnaharta, and his close relationship with Lord Kartikeya. Worshipping Ganesha is for starting fresh and trying things, asking him to give us luck, wisdom and remove hurdles. His elephant head means being wise ahead, while his damaged tooth shows giving up and the strength of flexibility. People worship Ganesha as the bringer of good luck and smarts.
