Choreography - Dr. Sheela Unnikrishnan
Dancers:

This is a hymn on Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. The dancers celebrate the Lord’s glory and offer salutations to Him.
Oh leader of Ganas,
Oh Lord of the people,
Salutations to You!
Oh embodiment of virtues,
The one adorned with merits,
The master of moral values,
Salutations to You!
To the Lord with one tusk,
To the one with a trunk,
To the son of Goddess Gowri,
My prostrations!
To the leader of elephants,
To the one who adorns a crescent moon,
To Sri Ganesha,
My prostrations!
The Lord who is the life and soul of music,
The Lord who is intoxicated in music,
The Lord who is the leader of all Teachers,
The Lord who is worshipped by all preceptors,
We worship You!
Oh, the one who is the quintessence of Gita,
The Lord with round ankles,
The one who has the fragrance of sandal wood,
The giver of all boons,
We worship You!
