Vikaṭar (விகடர்) is another name for Ganesha (Pillaiyar)—one of the best-known and most worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon and is the Supreme God in the Ganapatya sect. Hindu texts identify him as the son of Parvati and Shiva although devotion to Ganesha is widely diffused and extends to Jains and Buddhists and beyond India such as Nepal and Sri Lanka. Ganesha has been represented with the head of an elephant since the early stages of his appearance in Indian art.
