Lord Vinayaka (Ganesha) is one of the five prime hindu deities. He is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and the brother of Lord Kartikeya (Skanda / Subramaniya / Muruga). He was born of Parvati’s body elements. The idols and temples of Lord Vinayaka are found all over the world. In the South Indian villages there are many temples exclusively for the worship of Vinayaka but there is no village where he does not exist. He is considered as the first God to be worshiped.
