Description

Vatapi Ganapathim is Mudduswami Dikshitar's ode to the one-and-only Lord Ganesha. He fondly called by many names Pillayar, Ganapathy, and even famous outside India as the Elephant God.

Interestingly, the last line of the song mentions how Pillayar loves the sound of the Hamsadhwani ragam, indicating that this ragam is perfect for the song.

Start your week by paying your respects to Pillayar to have all your obstacles removed and dreams come true.
