Vinayaka Ashtottara is a sacred Hindu prayer consisting of 108 names of Lord Ganesha, each highlighting a different aspect of the deity. Reciting these names is a way to invoke Ganesha's blessings for wisdom, protection, and the removal of obstacles, often done during Ganesha Chaturthi and other religious occasions.
These names are traditionally recited to invoke the blessings of Lord Ganesha, particularly during the beginning of new endeavors, to remove obstacles and to ensure success and wisdom.
