The deity of good fortune, new ventures, wisdom and removal of obstacles, his attributes are shell, discus, club and water lily, held in each of his four hands, and his vehicle is a rat. Huge yet gentle, humble enough to ride upon the insignificant rat, his figure in its totality represents the indivisible universe.

Ganesha is worshipped at the beginning of ventures such as buying a vehicle, moving to a new home or starting a business. He grants success, prosperity and protection against adversity. 

Ganesha is one of the best-known and most widely loved gods. He is the principal deity associated with traders; the god of success. He is also patron of arts and sciences, and the Deva of intellect and wisdom.

In Hinduism, murtis are physical representations of deities, created as focal points for worship and spiritual connection. While they are often made from materials like brass, stone, wood, or clay, murtis are not worshipped for their material form alone. Instead, they serve as symbolic embodiments of divine presence.

The purpose of a murti includes:

Facilitating Devotion: A murti offers devotees a tangible way to focus their prayers, rituals (puja), and meditation. It helps deepen emotional and spiritual connection with the divine.

Channeling Divine Energy: In temple or home worship, the murti is believed to become a vessel for the deity’s presence during rituals, especially after consecration (prana pratishta). It becomes a medium through which devotees experience blessings and guidance.

Cultural and Spiritual Symbolism: Each murti is rich in symbolic detail—gestures, postures, expressions, and attributes (like weapons or animals) all convey specific qualities of the deity, such as wisdom, protection, strength, or compassion.

Encouraging Mindfulness and Reverence: Placing a murti in the home or sacred space creates an atmosphere of reverence, reminding individuals to live with awareness, discipline, and respect for higher values.

Though not considered gods themselves, murtis are honored as sacred forms through which the infinite and formless divine becomes accessible and relatable to the human mind and heart.
