The fourth avatar of Lord Ganesha, Gajanana (“the one with an elephant face”), symbolizes wisdom, compassion, and strength. He defeated the demon Lobhasura and is depicted seated on a white mouse, representing purity and control over desires. Holding an axe to destroy ignorance, his simple yet divine attributes, including a crescent-crowned head and sacred garlands, reflect his purity, dharma, and spiritual authority.
