Lord Ganesha is also known as Vighnaharta ( Remover of Obstacles ) and is worshipped first before any auspicious ritual or occasion. He is ever-blissful and is lovingly worshipped by millions of people worldwide. He is the symbol of wisdom, success and good fortune. The son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, Shree Ganesha, is the God of good luck and auspiciousness and is the dispeller of problems and obstacles.

Lord Ganesha is said to be the form of Omkara. In Om, the upper arc is said to be the face of Lord Ganesha. The lower arc is his belly. The twisted arc which is on the right side of the Om is his trunk. Thus Omkara represents the complete physical form of Lord Ganesha. As every recital starts with an Omkara, all rituals too start only after praying Lord Ganesha, otherwise it is believed that the ritual does not reach to a logical end. The word Ganesha is made up of Gana (people) and Isha (lord). Hindu’s worship Lord Ganesha with various other names like Ashtavinayaka, Buddhinath, Ekadanta, Gajanana, Vakratunda, Vignaharta and Ganapati.
