Ganesha

GANESHA

Ganesha is revered by Hindus as the remover of obstacles. He is first and foremost an obedient son. Standing guard at his mother's door, this son of Parvati refuses to let anyone through. Even Lord Shiva is denied entry! 

This confrontation between father and son has one beneficial outcome - the emergence of Ganesha, the elephant-headed god of wisdom.
