Lord Ganesha sits in the muladhara chakra, at the base of the spinal cord and facilitates the spiritual progress of human beings. Sitting in the muladhara chakra he serves as the gateway to the higher chakras and higher planes of consciousness. Ganesha is a lovable and affable god, who is easily accessible through prayers, meditation and contemplation. He is easy to please and approach because he is resides in the subtle worlds closers to our earth plane (physical body) and serves as a connecting link between this world and the higher. According to Shakti Tantra, there are as many Ganeshas in the creation as there the letters of the alphabet. This suggests that Ganesha exists in various planes and worlds as the head of the ganas or groups of entities to guide them and lead them towards Siva, the primordial being.
Ganesha is usually worshipped alone. But in the tantric form of worship he is worshipped along with his shaktis as Vallabha. The puranas mention 16 names of Ganesha which are considered to be effective during his worship for warding off evil and gaining his blessings. These names are also used in the prayers addressed to Ganesha during his worship. The 16 names of Ganesha are ~~ sumukha, ekadanta, kapila, vighnaraja, vinayaka, dhumaketu, ganadhyaksha, phalachandra, gajakarna, lambodara, vikata, vakratunda, surpanakha, heramba, skandapurvaja and mahaganapathi.
Some rare and interesting aspects of Ganesha are found in some temples of India such as the the image of Bala Ganapathi crawling on his hands like a baby at Vellore in Andhra Pradesh, the image of Ganesha holding a flute just like Krishna at Madurai, a female aspect of Ganesha called Ganeshini at Suchindra and Madurai and a five headed Heramaba Ganapathi riding a lion at Nagapattinam. The female aspect of Ganesha is also called Vinayaki, Surpakarni and Lambamekhala.!
