Ganesha.

Ganesha is one of many Hindu deities who have travelled to other countries. Ganesha was a deity who was particularly revered by traders and merchants who travelled outside of India on business. Ganesha became the dominant deity associated with traders during this time, as new trade networks, trade unions, and a resurrection of the flow of money emerged. The community of merchants invokes Ganesha before any other deity in the oldest inscription.GANESHA is positioned at the entrance of temples or houses. In his belly, Ganesh is all the worlds, his big ears hear only the good words and reject the bad ones, the four arms represent the four Vedas. It evokes the unity of the human microcosm and the macrocosm. It symbolizes a duality that concerns all people: earthly pleasures are not an obstacle to experiencing a deep spirituality.

Only a few Jains worship Ganesha, who believe he has taken over part of Kubera’s tasks. The fact that Jaina is connected to the business community lends credence to the theory that Ganesha’s worship was taken over by Jainism as a result of commercial links. The oldest literary mention to Ganesha in Jainism is in the Abhidhānacitāmani of Hemachandra which refers to numerous names of Ganesha, such as Heramba, Ganavigneṣa and Vinayaka, and describes him as having an elephant’s head, belly, carrying an axe and riding on a mouse. The oldest known statue of Jaina Ganesha at Mathura with Jaina Yakshi Ambika.Ganesha occurs in Buddhism not just as the Buddhist god Vinayaka, but also as a Hindu deity named Vinayaka. His likeness can be found in Buddhist statues from the past. As the Buddhist god Vinayaka, he is frequently depicted dancing, in the form of Ntta Ganapati, which was popular in North India and later adopted in Nepal and Tibet. Candi Sukuh’s temple in the Malay archipelago features a dancing Ganesha.Mahkala, a prominent Tibetan god, is depicted trodden by Ganesha in Tibetan form. Ganapati, Maha Rakta is a tantric Buddhist version of Ganapati (Ganesha) associated with the Tantras of Chakrasamvara. Ganapati in this form is thought to be an emanation of Avalokiteshvara. In addition to bronzes, Tibetan Ganesha appears with the Buddha in the beautiful Thangka paintings.
