| Summary: | Ganesa commands universal respect among the indigenous relegious schools and sects of the Hindus, Jainas and Buddhists. He is a God who is unique in many ways - his peculiar physiognomy, his double characters, as a vighnaharta (creator of obstacles) and as a vignaharta (remover of obstacles). He is worshiped first to ensure success of all religious and secular functions and enterprises, traces the origin and development of pauranic Ganesa, analyses his distinctive features and studies his representation in art both in India and in the other countries of Asia. |
