in Lord Ganesh on In Pursuit of Mysteries
Lord Ganesh is an universal deity and His aura has its roots practically worldwide. His form has been seen in Greece as the Greek God of wisdom, Janus, where he is depicted with the head of an elephant and like Ganesh he is also invoked at the commencement of prayers and auspicious events.

Rome: In Rome, He is known as the God of learning and depicted with a quill and inkpot.

In Sri Lanka, Lord Ganesh is known as Pillaiyar or Gana Deviyo. In Jaffna, He is known as the guardian of the crops and so we see many of His temples near the fields. The Karunakara Pilliayar Temple is said to be constructed by Karunakara Tondaiman, the commander of Kulottunga Chola I dating back to 1070-1118 AD.
