We worship Ganesh ji with various names like Sankatharan(risk remover), Vignavinayak (interruption remover). With His blessings, all the obstacles of our life can be removed. He has been blessed as First reverend for worship by Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati. He is worshiped before starting all projects, poojas, rituals and hawans in order to complete them uninterruptedly and successfully. This is why he is also known as Agraganya (one who is worshipped before all).

Hindu Scriptures and Mythologies suggest different poojas/worships for various wishes of humankind. Pooja/ Worship of Ganesh ji is done to attain knowledge,fame, wealth and business expansion, court/legal matters, etc.
