Ganesa is revered by all the religious sects and schools of the Hindus, Jainas, and Buddhists. His unique physiognomy and double nature as both a vighnaharta, (remover of obstacles), and a vighnakarta, (creator) make him a god that is truly special. To ensure the success of all religious and secular functions as well as enterprises, he is worshiped first. Ganesa is also the god music and dance. Ganesa’s cult spread to many countries in Asia. It is remarkable to see Ganesa rise to the top of the orthodox Hindu pantheon as one of the panca-devatas. It is an ancient version mundane legend, from Log Cabin to White House. Although there have been many studies on this God in recent times, this one is the most complete, well-documented in original sources, artistic and textual, and abundantly illustrated. This book examines the history of pauranika Ganesa from pre-pauranika Vinayaka (a Vighnaharta), to Pauranika Ganesa (a Vighnaharta). It also analyzes his unique features and examines his representation in art in India and other parts of Asia. It attempts to solve the mystery of how a Non Vedic, Nonepic and Non-Aryan God came to be honoured in the Hindu pantheon. It is fascinating to see the impact of the techniques used by Ganesa’s followers to promote his status and cult, and the lasting results.
