Ganesha, Ganapataye Namaha, Sweet playful Ganesha, Elephant-heraded Deity, Remover of 2024 obstacles, lord of the multitudes, Chibi Ganesha

I freehand sketched this Ganesha on a linooblock while teaching an art class. I find him sweet and cute.
Ganesha is everywhere in India: schoolyards, businesses, on busses... He is one of the most beloved of all deities.
He is considered the remover of obstacles and is invoked at the start of new adventures, marriages, new business, travel...
Who doesn't love an elephant-headed being?
A friend to all is Ganesha
