Is worshipping Ganesha idol an idol worship?
The sentence speaks for itself - worshipping an ganesha idol is
worship of an idol, because the statue itself is the object of
veneration. However, worship of the god Ganesha through use of a
statue or 'idol' of Ganesha need not be seen as idol worship. Many
Christians pray before statues of saints and even of Jesus, but
would never consider this to be idol worship.
