Notes de l'éditeur
Interact with audience!
Before beginning a school year, taking a trip, or starting a new business, Hindus pray to Ganesha for assistance, and he is prayed to at the start of all Hindu worship. Most temples have a separate area of worship dedicated to this elephant-headed god, and devotees first visit his image before proceeding to the principle deity’s shrine. Sculptures of Ganesha are often washed with water and adorned with flowers.
