Join us as we discuss Lord Ganesha, a popular Hindu deity known for his role in removing obstacles. We explore the history and diverse myths of Ganesha's origins, his widespread worship across Asia, and his significance in Hinduism. Ganesha's stories, including his birth, his battle with Shiva, and his broken tusk, are examined for their symbolic meanings. We also examine Ganesha's wide appeal and his association with wisdom and learning and Ganesha Chaturthi, a significant festival celebrating his birthday, as well as its historical context in India's struggle for independence.
