He is known as the Lord of all obstacles and can remove them if asked... he is therefore also a god of good beginnings, who can grant you serenity and confidence in situations of new beginnings and change. People ask Ganesha when they need luck for a journey or an undertaking. They ask Ganesha for protection and blessing, for example when moving into a new home. Merchants revere him as their personal patron. And Ganesha grants all this with mischief and wisdom and open hands.
