The art behind a religious artifact

I look at the artwork that was done by the hindu people to pay homage to their god Ganesh a Hindu God of success.
The elephant-headed God is Ganesh or Ganesha. Ganesha is considered the Remover of Obstacles and the Lord of Beginnings, the patron of arts and sciences, and the God of intellect and wisdom as well as being the patron deity of Librarians.
