Of the 32 forms of Ganapathi, Ekakshara Ganapathi is the 17th form and the word Ekakshara connotes a single-syllable. Lord Ganapathi or Ganesh is the lord of beginnings as he has attained the boon of being worshipped first before all other gods. This form represents the single beejakshara mantra or seed letter ‘Gam’ and also symbolizes the primordial sound Om. The form has three eyes, one on the forehead. A crescent moon adorns the forehead on the crown like his father Lord Shiva. He holds a noose, goad and a pomegranate fruit in his hand. He also shows the abhaya mudra which means he is ready to dispel fear of devotees and instil courage in them. Uthiram Nakshatra or Uttara Phalguni nakshatra is associated with this form. It’s strongly believed that the form bestows the worshipper to gain control over the mind and senses. One of the famous temples associated with this form is situated in Hampi in Karnataka. Also in the temples of Thiruvananthapuram, Chamarajanagar and Nanjagud, the sculptures of 32 forms of Ganesh are depicted with finesse.
