Ganesha-Janani (Mother of Ganesh), 1800s. The goddess Parvati is portrayed here with the infant Ganesh in her arms. Ganesh is the ever-popular elephant-headed deity who is worshipped as the mischievous god of obstructions and beginnings. Ganesh is fashioned from the dirt of Parvati?s body. At his mother?s request, Ganesh guarded her as she bathed, only to be confronted by the god Shiva, Parvati?s husband, who is refused entry.
