Lord
Ganesha is one of the most worshiped Hindu deity and also one of the most recognisable,
because of his elephant head.
In all
of the images or statues of Ganesha, he has a broken tusk. This tusk
is a symbol of sacrifice that he broke off to write the Mahabharata
(an important Sanskrit). He is known to be the Lord of Success and
the destroyer of evils and obstacles. He is worshiped as the God of
knowledge, wisdom, education and wealth. The rosary that he holds
suggests that the pursuit of knowledge should be continuous.
