So nice Abdul. Can u give some more info on Ganpati Festival in Kerala? It will be enlightening to know how people hail Ganpati everywhere. Because Ganpati is not the Preserve of a Particular Class/ Caste/ Province nor is he a God. Well, I am not a Hot - Shot Intellectual but what I do know is that he is an Ideal who represents Vidya (Knowledge), Buddhi (Intellect), Pradnya (Potential). There is a post here which says he is a Funny Character. That will be most degrading for an Individual who represents all the 18 Vidyas (Knowledge) & 64 Kalas (Arts). His Elephant - Head is not been placed for Fun but Symbolises vast Intellect (like an Elephant). O Ganpati, Bless All Your Devotees Equally - Big Or Small, Rich Or Poor, Privileged Or Deprived...
