Five Headed Lord Ganesha Royalty-Free Stock Photography

This God of knowledge and the remover of obstacles is also the older son of Lord Shiva. He is worshipped, or at least remembered, in the beginning of any auspicious performance for blessings and auspiciousness. He has four hands, elephant head and a big belly. His vehicle is a tiny mouse. In his hands he carries a rope (to carry devotees to the truth), an axe (to cut devotees' attachments), and a sweet dessert ball (to reward devotees for spiritual activity). His fourth hands palm is always extended to bless people. A unique combination of his elephant-like head and a quick moving tiny mouse vehicle represents tremendous wisdom, intelligence, and presence of mind.
