Lord Ganesha is the elder son of Lord Shiva and is also known by the name of �Vinayak� or the knowledgeable and �Vighneshwar� or the lord who removes obstacles. Lord Ganesha is always worshipped at the beginning of any other prayer or any form of auspicious festivity. He is said to be a unique God, representing tremendous form of wisdom and presence of mind with the head of an elephant, a big fat belly, four hands and a tiny mouse as his vehicle. In one hand, he carries a rope to pull his devotees towards truth. On the other hand, he carries an axe to cut off the worldly bonds of his devotees. His third hand holds a dessert called �laddoo� to reward his devotees for their spiritual activity and his fourth hand is always in an extended posture to bless mankind.
