Maha Ganapati is perhaps the most popular form among the thirty-two forms of the Lord Ganesha. Maha Ganapati, meaning the great one, is depicted with a red complexion. In this form, Lord Ganesha has ten arms and three eyes. There is also a crescent moon above his head like Lord Shiva, his father. He is presented in a seated posture with one of his wives sitting on his left lap. The consort of Ganesha has a white complexion and holds a lotus in her hand. Maha Ganapati holds various objects in his hands such as His broken tusk, a sugarcane bow, a pomegranate, a golden Kamandalu adorned with jewels, a mace a lotus, a twig of paddy, a noose, a chakra and a blue lily. This incarnation of Ganesha is considered to be a Tantric form of the Lord.
Maha Ganapati is worshipped and prayed with a devotional mantra which is chanted by His worshippers. The Maha Ganapathi Moola Mantra is generally chanted before the beginning of any new work or project as it removes all obstructions. Moreover, the devotee is blessed with success and prosperity
