Does any other deity lend Himself to such devotee-specific imagination as, well, my Friend Ganesha? He happily takes whatever form one wishes to see Him in and has lent Himself benevolently to abundant variety in artistic 2-d / 3-d designs and forms.

wow..he is tech savy...and i liked the other one too...
That is the cutest Ganesha I have seen in a while. I love the expression on the "real" mouse!
His manifestations are many and I wish all readers the best for Ganesha Chaturti, may his benevolence be upon everyone.
Swarna, really cute - the first one. Second, beyond me. But aren't there are hundreds of names for him? And books too listing HIs names?
He is the sweetest God, never minding however we visualise him - including a whole team of cricket players
I think this is it
1.Heyramba
2.Vakrathunda
3.Gananayaka
4.Ganesh
5.Lambodara
6.Gajanan
7.Ganapathi
8.Gananadha
9. Vikata
10.Kapila
11.Ekadanta
12.Shurpakarana
13.Dhumaketu
14.Vinayaka
15. Moriya(Noriya?)
16. Vignaraja
In case that was not clear I meant - in the kolu season there are Vinayaka dolls as cricketers - a whole team of bowler, batsmen and fielders
Shiv, Capt AM, Kallu, Raji - many thanks.
Raji: Appreciate the efforts you took to make out and type the names. (8 is Ganadhyaksha, 15 is Moriya)

It's great that a lot of these spiritual stuff is gettting online. I like it, and it just shows how the world is fast changing.
True, Pradeep.
It's amazing that spirituality as you call it gets some space amidst all the screaming online about Bollywood and political non-heroes.
Cute! The expression on the mouse's face is priceless. And thanks, Raji, for your effort.
Lovely post!
