White Ganesh Figurine Playing Sitar
The Hindu god Lord Ganesha / Ganesh is an elephant headed god who removes all obstacles on the path of the spiritual aspirant, and bestows upon him worldly as well as spiritual success. So he is called Vigna Vinayaka or Vighneshwar(remover of, or lord over, obstacles).

Hindu Elephant God
The son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesh is shown as having a human body and the head of an elephant. There are many tales to describe how Ganesh came to have an elephant head. In one story, Shiva set off traveling when Ganesh was young and went away for many years. When he returned, he found Parvati talking to an adult Ganesh, and assuming Ganesh was a stranger there to woo his wife, he chopped off his own son's head. Parvati was so upset that in order to placate her, Shiva said he would replace Ganesh's head with that of the first living being he came upon. This happened to be an elephant, and so now Ganesh is portrayed as having the head of an elephant.

In India, the Hindu elephant god Ganesha is the God of Knowledge and remover of obstacles. He is invoked at the beginning of any endeavor. It is believed that for the fulfillment of one's desires, Ganesh's blessing is absolutely necessary.

Lord Ganesha, from whom emanates profound knowledge, and cosmic music and rhythm, is the Master of the Gana (all existing beings). The Hindu god Ganesh is also the master of sound. Ganesh plays music, dances, and is often shown dancing when hearing drumbeat and flute playing. He dances to dispel gloom and to destroy obstacles standing in his way.

A very complex deity, the elephant god Ganesh is known in many forms. The four-armed Ganesha is an embodiment of truth, discretion, having control over money power and bondage. These four arms represent the four inner equipments of the subtle body, namely mind (manas), intellect (buddhi), ego (aharnkar) and conditioned consciousness (chitta). Lord Ganesh represents the pure Consciousness, the Atman (essence of the Universe) which enables these four equipments to function in you.
