Ganpati, the brainy leader of our entire Hindu race is celebrated with a lot of pomp and gaiety globally. From the altars of many Muslims living in Indonesia to the bylanes of Cambodia and Vietnam, Ganesh is a global symbol of progress and prosperity. His elephant head is full of wisdom and piety- he, the one who recorded the Mahabharat, to the one who struck his father down for the security of his mother, Mother Gauri.

Ganpati is the God over all our assets and is known as the Lord over our knowledge and wisdom specifically. Once, when his parents asked him and his brother Kartikeya to travel around the world to prove their competence, Ganesh just circled around his parents indicating to them that they meant the world to him. And obviously, he won the contest and Kartikeya left Mt Kailash to settle in Tamil Nadu permanently.

As is the norm worldwide, Ganesh is a foodie typically epically. He loves his modaks and sweetmeats and indicates how important the right diet is for all his devotees. All Hindus stack up on all kinds of foodie delights all through the 10 days that he is celebrated most auspiciously.

The most devout chant the Ganpati Atharva Sheersham daily, a song that celebrates his unchallenged rank and divinity. He is worshipped with a red hibiscus flower, known to be extremely holy- devotees pray to him with tufts of the Durva grass additionally.

For the uninitiated, the tall and lofty Lalbaugcha Raja posted at Parel is known to collect millions of dollars in donations and charity.    

Ganpati Bappa Moriya, then- and long live us and all his other enthusiasts who love and worship him unconditionally. Both Ganesh and Prahlad were born into Asura families originally, but their devotedness and purity gave them the status of Gods and divine overlords of the Hindu race and ideology unopposed permanently.
