Lord Ganesha is one of the most well-known and worshipped deities in India.

Although he has many attributes, he is readily identified by his head, which is of an elephant’s.  As the God of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of all rites, ceremonies, and auspicious events.

Lord Ganesha defeats 8 weaknesses of humans in each avatar. These are attachment(mama), ego(ahankar), desire(kaam), anger(khrod), greed(lobh), delusion(moh), inebriation(madh) and jealousy(matsar).

These 8 avatars materialised in different cosmic eras. Each of these avatars depicts a stage of the Ultimate which leads to creation. Demons symbolize negative qualities present in humans. Victory over them is also a symbolic mastery over all these negative aspects of the personality.
