He is also the favourite subject for curio hunters and collectors of icons. Painters and sculptors have revelled in depicting this God in a variety of forms and postures. The Tantrik practitioners have found in him a benevolent power quick to acquire and enduring in nature. There is no religious group in the country which dispenses with his services. And more importantly Ganesa has been subjected to endless enquiry about his origin nature significance symbolism and cultic involvement. Research scholars have surrounded him with diverse theories sociological anthropological cultural historical literary and linguistic political and economic answers are suggested to be the secret of his popularity agriculture hunting elephant capture formation of early totemistic communities and strife amongst them are sought to be seen in the background of this deity. Excessive use of imagination appears to be the undercurrent in all such studies which have also incidentally brought to surface many interesting aspects of Ganesa worship. Literature about Ganesa is remarkable varied and large. Every Indian language has works bearing on this deity and on his worship. Works in Sanskrit which appear to have provided the main source material for all of them are themselves large in number and varied in nature puranas kalpas paddhatis sadhanas vidhis and namavalis.
