Ganesha, also known as Ganapati, Vinayaka and Binayak, is one of the best-known and most worshiped deities in the Hindu pantheon. His image is found throughout India, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Nepal. Hindu sects worship him regardless of affiliations. Devotion to Ganesha is widely diffused and extends to Jains and Buddhists. Although he is known by many attributes, Ganesha\'s elephant head makes him easy to identify. Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the Deva of intellect and wisdom. As the god of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rites and ceremonies. Ganesha is also invoked as patron of letters and learning during writing sessions. As the legendary scribe who used his broken tusk to write parts of the Mahabharata epic, the elephant-headed Ganesh can also be invoked as the patron deity of letters. In his role as a keeper of sacred spaces, Ganesh is often placed at the inner gates of many temples, where pilgrims and passersby pay homage and seek his blessings.
