Ganesha is one of the famous gods in Hinduism and has the title of the God of knowledge and intelligence, a protective god, a disaster-repelling god and a god of wisdom. Paintings and sculptures are found in various parts including India, Indonesia, Nepal and Tibet.

Reliefs, statues and paintings often depict elephant-headed, four-armed and fat-bodied. Ganesha is also known as Bhatara Gana, Ganapati, Winayaka and Pilleyar. This figure is considered as one of Shiva's sons. Various sects within Hinduism adore it without regard to the group. Worship is so extensive that it is carried out by Jaina and Buddhists.

Although known to have many attributes, an elephant-shaped head makes it easy to recognize. Ganesha is famous as "the exorcist of all obstacles" and is more commonly known as "God when starting work", "Protector of art and science", and "God of intelligence and wisdom".



This deity was honored to start a ceremony and was called as a protector of writing for the purpose of writing in the ceremony. Ganesha emerged as a certain deity with a character that was typical in the 4th to 5th century AD during the Gupta period, although inherited in pre-Vedic traits.

Fame rose rapidly and entered among the five main deities in Smarta's teachings in the 9th century. The cult of worshipers called Ganapatya who considered Ganesha the main deity, emerged during that period. The main books dedicated to Ganesha are Ganesha Purana, Mudgalapurana, and Ganapati Atharwashirsa.
