Ganapathi, Vinayaka, Vigneshwara, Ganesha, Moriya, Gajanana.... so many names
Among the most versatile of Gods in terms of depiction as well- some bordering on the gaudy, others innovative and cute.
Hope Anush grows as fond of Ganesha as her parents. . .and hope He is fond of her and keeps trouble at bay.
Wishing all of you a happy Ganesh Chaturthi!
Here is a nice explanation albeit a little overdone from paavani's blog.

These are the times when I wish I was in India. I have really fond memories attached with the Ganesh Chaturthi. That ganesha doll is soo adorable! Post some pics of your other collections!and yes wish you too a Happy Ganesha Chaturthi:)I'm sure Anush is going to have a blast!
that is the cutest ganesha i have seen.
there used to be an annual ganeshotsav celebration in our complex. it would start off with 'chanda' collection and end with the visarjan in tank bund. what fun!
lovely pic & a nice post...Happy Ganesh Chaturthi!
That really is a cute Ganesha. Happy Ganesh Chaturthi
i used this ganesha pic on anush's first bday invite- the ayush homam as we call it
so cute ...happy ganesha chaturthi ..when are you on radio ?
I wonder why only they make different models of ganesha alone? why not shiva or Vishnu??? My hubby's elder cousin has 200 idols. He bought the 200th one in pondy when we had been there.
swati- on Saturday I was ona ir on Radio one at around 12.30 !!
lavs- we have about 100 at last count-would love to see your cousin's collection- he is in chennai?
A friend of mine had a Ganesh idol resting with his hand supporting his head. It was such a sweet idol. I agree, Ganesh probably is the only god who finds ways into various depiction be it one stroke with a pen or clay moulds.
Wow!love the collection.
Sorry Artnavy. My hubby's cousin stays in Nerul, mumbai. Will try to get a snap of the collection the next time i am there(god knows when that one will be).
Sahi!
it would be good to see that Ganesha collection!
Any link to that?
