This Ganpati thingy in my house. We used to hang it in my dad's office, but now it sits on a table next to the mini-temple thingy (I swear I know what they're called but only in marathi and the problem is that yall don't speak marathi and wouldn't have an inkling of what I'm saying)

Okay so it's pretty old, like about 25-30 years old, probably more. It has the Indian God, Ganesh (or more commonly known as Ganpati in maharashtra) on it.

The text written below is a prayer in sanskrit (which I can read (NoT tO FlEx but with proper pronounciations)) and yeah I have a habit of randomly reciting prayers and this one is among the most common.

If you can't read what it says: (IM SAYING THIS TO PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE DEVANAGARI SCRIPT.)

प्रणम्य शिरसा देवं गौरीपुत्रं विनायकम् ।। भक्तावासं स्मरेनित्यमायु:सर्वकामार्थसिध्दये ।।1।।

प्रथमं वक्रतुंड च एकदन्तं द्वितीयकम्। तृतीयं कृष्णपिंगाक्षं गजवक्त्रं चतुर्थकम्।। 2।।

लंबोदरं पंचमं च षष्ठं विकटमेव च। सप्तमं विघ्न राजेन्द्रं धूम्रवर्णं तथाष्टमम्।। 3।।

नवमं भालचंद्रं च दशमं तु विनायकम्। एकादशं गणपतिं द्वादशं तु गजाननम्।। 4।।

द्वादशैतानि नामानि त्रिसंध्यं यः पठेन्नरः। न च विघ्नभयं तस्य सर्वसिध्दिकरं प्रभो।। 5।।

विद्यार्थी लभते विद्यां धनार्थी लभते धनम्। पुत्रार्थी लभते पुत्रान् मोक्षार्थी लभते गतिम्।। 6।।

जपेत् गणपतिस्तोत्रं षड्भिर्मासैः फलं लभेत्। संवत्सरेण सिध्दिं च लभते नात्र संशयः।। 7।।

अष्टभ्यो ब्राम्हाणेभ्यश्च लिखित्वा यः समर्पयेत्। तस्य विद्या भवेत्सर्वा गणेशस्य प्रसादतः।। 8।।

इति श्री नारदपुराणे संकटनाशनं नाम महागणपतिस्तोत्रं संपूर्णम्।।

Also fun fact: we don't say this on Ganesh Chaturthi or even the ten days following it which is ironic.

Also grandma taught us like a bunch of prayers unknowingly because she says them literally every single day in the morning in the living room and me and my sister developed a habit of saying the prayers with her (and now they're carved in my brain) and it's as effortless as whistling while writing or drawing lol (thanks grandma I guess?)
