Ganesh is one of the most loved gods in hinduism. As lord Shivas first son he is considered a great protector and remover of obstacles. He is the lord of Wisdom, a god for everyone-big and small, rich and poor, educated and illiterate. Ganesh is well known all over Asia, and relics of his images have been found as far as in Mexico and as far as 1200B.C. But it is in India that he is most cherished and worshipped.
