Lord Ganesha symbolizes the remover of all obstacles. During the fast, devotees should meditate 12 names of Lord Ganesha by preparing a small Havan Kund. With this, devotees can get rid of all the difficulties that may come in the future and have a happy life. These 12 names are Sumukh, Ekdanta, Kapil, Gajkarnak, Lambodar, Vikat, Vighnaharta, Vinayak, Dhumraketu, Ganadhyaksh, Bhalchandra and Gajanan. After this, by circumambulating the Havan Kund, the women should see the moon and seek blessings for their children.
Lord Ganesha is represented by the human body with an elephant head. He holds a bowl full of Modaks. The mount of Lord Ganesha is a mouse. He is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and the brother of Lord Kartikeya. According to the mythology, Lord Ganesha was created by the Goddess Parvati with the turmeric paste that she used for her bath. She asked Lord Ganesha to guard her door while she bathed.
