The mighty elephant-headed god Ganapati, also known as Ganesh, provides wealth and success to devotees, and is frequently found in places of business in India. He is pictured here surrounded by treasures and bodhisattvas. The wish-fulfilling jewel above his head helps his followers understand the dharma and attain enlightenment.
