O Lord Ganpati, you are the bestower of happiness and the remover of sorrows. You eliminate all obstacles. Your grace brings love and joy. Your entire body is beautifully adorned with vermillion (shendur), and a garland of pearls shines around your neck. O son of Gauri, seated on a jeweled throne, with anklets jingling at your feet. O pot-bellied one, wearing yellow silk, adorned with serpents, with a curved trunk and three eyes, please protect us in times of trouble and save us in our final moments.
