Ganesha, the remover of obstacles) is an Indian mythological television series based on the stories of Lord Ganesha.[3][4] The series aired on Sony Entertainment Television from 22 August 2017 to 12 November 2021.

Plot
The show narrates mythological tales of Lord Ganesha, beginning with his creation by Goddess Parvati.[6][7] In one of the key arcs, Lord Shiva, unaware that Ganesha is his son, beheads him during a confrontation. Upon Parvati’s request, Shiva resurrects him with the head of an elephant, after which he is named Vighnaharta (the remover of obstacles). The series later expands to depict various stories of gods, goddesses, sages, demons, and avatars from Hindu scriptures.[8]
