Ganesha is perhaps the most popular of all Indian gods. He is considered the son of Parvati and Shiva. According to legend, Shiva withdrew for meditation and Parvati created a son out of loneliness. When Shiva returned, he decapitated him in anger. After realizing what he had done, he ordered the head of the first one who passed by to be placed on Ganesha's body to revive him. This was an elephant – a new god was born, uniting the power of Shiva and Parvati.
It is said that he removes all obstacles in the way. Thus, he is often invoked before any kind of venture. He brings material and spiritual prosperity and is therefore regarded as the patron saint of businessmen. But also at every new beginning, whether it is a move or a new job, Ganesha should not be missing, as he blesses the new situation and promises luck.
