The popularity enjoyed by Ganesha across the land is due to the attributes possessed by the god as the 'Remover of Obstacles,' the 'Lord of Good Fortune,' or the 'Master of Wisdom and Intellect,' amongst others. Ganpati is depicted as seated, standing, or dancing and generally having four arms, that hold his characteristic attributes - a modak or a laddu, a broken tusk, an ax or a goad, and a noose. Each of these accruements has its own significance. His renown and fame led to the Ganpatiya sect which acknowledged him as the Supreme Deity. It spawned six variants, literature about the god, and his 32 forms. His pre-eminence has established that Ganesha is the first god to be worshipped in any religious ceremony. For the Peshwas of Maharashtra, the god was their kuldevatha and the epicenter of his worship became Pune, around which the Ashtavinayaka Temples came up. Lokmanya Tilak used the importance of Ganesha to garner support against British rule. Ganesha is today worshipped all over India and the festival of Ganesha Chaturti in the month of Bhadra is celebrated across the land.
