Famous Ganapathy Temples in Trivandrum

"Vakratunda Maha-Kaaya Surya-Koti Sama-Prabha Nirvighnam Kuru Me Deva Sarva-Kaaryeshu Sarvadaa"
Lord Vinayaka, also known as Ganapathy, Ganesha, Vigneshwara, and Pillaiyar, is one of the most widely worshipped deities in Hinduism. Recognized instantly by his elephant head, he is revered as the remover of obstacles (Vighneswara) and the god of new beginnings. As the eldest son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi, he holds a special place in every Hindu ritual. Before any auspicious event, devotees invoke his blessings through Ganapathy Homam, both in temples and at home. His mount is the humble mouse, symbolizing humility and alertness.
