Ganesha Ratha is a temple in Kancheepuram district, Tamil Nadu, India. It is one of ten rathas ("chariots") carved out of pink granite within the group of monuments of the Pallava Period at Mahabalipuram, a UNESCO-inscribed World Heritage Site since 1984.The ratha is an example of monolith Indian rock-cut architecture dating from the late seventh century during the reign of King Mahendravarman I and his son Narasimhavarman I.
This is a two story structure. The ground floor has a cornice adorned with kudu (dormer windows/chaitya) arches, with peeping human heads except in few where we see a mini shrine. Above the cornice is a regular arrangement of oblong and square shrines, all interconnected with a cloister. The first story rises in the same fashion as of the ground floor except the mukha-mandapa. Its cornice is decorated very similar to the ground floor and this cornice is topped with the similar mini-shrine scheme.
This most complete ratha stands near the Arjuna Penance bas-relief. It being the most complete one might be due the reason of its location, near to the most famous bas-relief, the importance it would have enjoyed during the Pallava period. The ratha was known as Arjuna Ratha as mentioned by Lakshmiah Kavali in 1803. It was known as Arjuna Ratha due to its location, near the Arjuna Penance relief. ———- Location - Mada Koil St, Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu 603104, India

Lord Shiva goes by the name Sri Virupaksheeswarar and Ambal goes by the name Visalakshi.
Lord Ganesha is the god of wisdom and learning, as well as the remover of obstacles, and consequently the sign of auspiciousness.

Ganesha or Ganesh, also known as Ganapati and Vinayaka, is one of the best-known and most worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon. His image is found throughout India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bali (Indonesia) and Bangladesh and in countries with large ethnic Indian populations including Fiji, Mauritius and Trinidad and Tobago. Hindu denominations worship him regardless of affiliations.Devotion to Ganesha is widely diffused and extends to Jains and Buddhists.
Although he is known by many attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify.Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. As the god of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rites and ceremonies. Ganesha is also invoked as patron of letters and learning during writing sessions. Several texts relate mythological anecdotes associated with his birth and exploits.
Ganesha likely emerged as a deity as early as the 1st century CE,but most certainly by the 4th and 5th centuries CE, during the Gupta period, although he inherited traits from Vedic and pre-Vedic precursors. Hindu mythology identifies him as the restored son of Parvati and Shiva of the Shaivism tradition, but he is a pan-Hindu god found in its various traditions. In the Ganapatya tradition of Hinduism, Ganesha is the supreme deity. The principal texts on Ganesha include the Ganesha Purana, the Mudgala Purana, and the Ganapati Atharvashirsa. Brahma Purana and Brahmanda Purana are other two Puranic genre encyclopaedic texts that deal with Ganesha.

At the Sri Venkateswara Temple in Helensburgh we watched a procession where the people pulled a carriage with Gansha around the temple.
Sadly, we have to leave the beach and travel to the last destination of this Indian trip. It was bittersweet for me. But along with spending time on a house boat, I wanted to revisit the beautiful city of Cochin.
Cochin is rich in history from the days of sea faring trade and despite adapting to modern technology it remains a charming and almost quaint city. Along the short journey to reach the city, there were many shops and beautiful handicrafts to buy.
I have now been to India four times. At first, the Hindu gods bewildered me. There are so many. Then some started to become familiar to me like old friends. I began to smile when I recognized them.
Ganesha is one of the best known deities in India. He is the god of beginnings and the deva of intellect and wisdom. He also is the patron of letters. He seems to do all of this effortlessly in this statue, doesn't he?

A glass Ganesha figurine was placed in a cut-glass water glass, and a candle was placed behind the water glass. The Ganesha figurine has no patterning by itself, but picks up the refracted light from the cut-glass glass. The figurine was illuminated with an LED light.

Ganesha in modern day Buddhist Thailand is known as the patron god of the arts and sciences. Statues and artwork depicting him are not very common, but here in Chiang Mai lies an estate with the largest known wooden carving of him. It is the estate owners' birthday and in celebration he has thrown a small intimate party with food, offerings to the god, as well as traditional Thai dancers to brighten the mood.
Ganesha is the remover of obstacles and the dispenser of magic, surprise, and laughter.
