Lord Ganesh is the most powerful of all the gods. Ganesha has been credited with many other titles and epithets, including Ganapati and Vighneshvara. He is the son of Lord Shiva and Parvati Devi, and the husband of Bharati, Riddhi and Siddhi. In art, he is represented as a yellow or red god with four arms and the head of an elephant with one-tusk, mounted or assisted by a mouse. As a rule, his name is preceded by the title of Hindu respect “Shri”. It provides knowledge, prosperity, fortune and is also the destroyer of obstacles. It is for this reason that his grace is invoked before undertaking any task with spells such as Aum Shri Ganeshaya Namah.
