One of the most-worshipped gods in Hinduism, Lord Ganesha is invoked first before undertaking any ritual or journey. The four-handed god is sitting holding a lotus on his one hand and blessing his disciples with his other hand. The method of waxing and dewaxing gives rise to a special effect in the painting. The son of Lord Shiva and Parvati is also known as Agra Ganya (One who is reckoned with first) among gods because He is the remover of obstacles. He is also known as the Lord of Wisdom.
