One of the most revered Hindu deities in India and abroad is Ganesha, the powerful elephant-headed god known as the remover of obstacles. Many people worship Ganesha during the beginning of the new endeavors, such as the start of the school year or the launch of a business pursuit, in hopes of keeping the path to success clear of any impediments.
