While several pAuranic scripts like Varaha Purana have made reference to Lord Ganesha, specific scripts viz. Sri Ganesha Purana, Mudgala Purana (both Upa Puranas) are exclusively dedicated to Lord Ganapathi.

As a Vedic God, presence of Lord Ganapathi has been felt in all cosmic ages and has been eulogized by Vedic scripts.

As a leader of Ganas (divine groups) Ganapathi is considered as an elderly God though basically a demi-God. He has been conferred with a unique prominence as a potent God to be worshiped before worshiping any other God.

A great devotee of Lord Sri Hari, Ganapati a Vishnu Parivaara Devata having visesha Vaayu aavesha is an adorable God the one who has abundant anugraha of Lord SriHari.

Viswambhara naamaka Paramatma, Lord Vishnu's Viswa Taijasa roopa is upaAsana moorthy of Lord Ganesha.

As TattvaAbhimani Devata of Aakaasa Tattva Ganapati is placed in 18th Kakshya as per Tattvavada Taratamya along with Vishvaksena - Kubera....

As Abhimani Devata of Aakaasa; Ganesha also becomes Abhimani Devata for Shabda (Srotrendriya) which is a Tattva (quality) of AakaAsa.

Worship of Lord Ganapathi is prevailing since time immemorial perhaps since Vedic times. There R several historical & pouranic references to the worship of Ganesha. We find several divine personalities having worshiped Lord Ganapathi on different occasions for various reasons.

Lord Vishnu in his incarnations as Sri Rama & Sri Krishna worshiped Lord Ganapathi for Loka Kalyana to maintain loka-reeti. As per directions of Lord Sri Krishna, DharmaRaja worshipped Lord Ganesha after becoming Chakravarthi.

During DwaparaYuga, Ganapati incarnated as Charudeshna born as son of Lord Sri Krishna;

Lord Ganesha is the divine script writer who assisted Sri Vedavyasa Devaru the divine literary incarnation of Lord Vishnu in composition of the great epic MahaBharata.

Lord Ganesha has played a significant role behind the origin of famous Theertha Kshethras (pilgrimage) of Lord Shiva at Gokarna (Aatma Linga Kshetra) and that of Lord Sri Ranganatha Swamy at Sri Rangam (Anthya Ranga Kshethra) near Trichy.

Lord Ganesha is Abhimaani Devatha for Chaturthi thithi;

Lord Ganesha is known as Kshipra PrasaAdi the one who grants wishes of his devotees very quickly;

Lord Ganesha's anugraha is very much required for correct articulation to the mind and assimilation of the Supreme Tattva GnyaAna of the Supreme God - Hari Sarvottama and Bhakti on Lord Sri Hari.

Sri Jagannatha Dasaru has euloziged Lord Ganesha in an exclusive chapter in HarikathamruthaSaara "VighneswaraStothra Sandhi"
