Vighneshvara — Remover of Obstacles
Lord Ganesha, son of Shiva and Parvati, is the elephant-headed deity of wisdom, new beginnings, and the remover of all obstacles. Revered as the first god to be worshipped before any ceremony or undertaking, Ganesha blesses all new endeavors. He is also the patron of arts, sciences, and intellect. His vehicle, the mouse (Mooshak), symbolizes mastery over desire.
