The god Ganesh, first son of the god Shiva and his consort Parvati, is represented with an elephant head with a single tusk, a protruding abdomen and four arms.
He is usually depicted riding a mouse or while the latter assists him. In some representations he is depicted in a sitting position, with one leg raised and bent over the other in the classic position called Lalitasana.
The god Ganesh is a figure much adored by the faithful population, because he is defined as the "Lord of good wishes". It represents the one who brings abundance and luck. He is also defined as the "Destroyer of every obstacle" not only of a material but also spiritual nature. For this reason, Ganesh's intercession is invoked before carrying out any initiative.
Mughal painting is a particular style of South Asian, particularly North Indian, painting that is limited to miniatures preserved either as book illustrations or as individual works in albums (muraqqa).
It evolved from Persian painting in tiny dimensions and developed in the court of the Mughal Empire from the 16th to the 18th century. The Mughal emperors were Muslims, and they are credited with consolidating Islam in South Asia and spreading Muslim (and especially Persian) art and culture and faith.
