Ganesha is the hindu god with the elephant head, son of Shiva and Umadevi. By mistake he was decapitated by his own father. Shiva brought him back to life with the first available head one could find, that of an elephant. Ganesha is the god of knowledge, wisdom and art, he removes obstacles and is the lord of protection for travellers. Ganesha is a stimulant at all new beginning, such as a new job, relation or home.
