Two Shaktis of Lord Ganesh (Siddhi and Riddhi) are often depicted on images of His forms.
These forms are recognized in the Agamic Scriptures (the Agamas). These texts represent a big
body of Scriptures written in Sanskrit and are revered as words remembered from God - Smriti.
Each Hindu denomination has its own and unique Agama texts. God's forms may also represent
a correlation with 32 paths and spheres of the Tree of Life. God as the Absolute Being is
incomprehensible, so purpose of these forms is to bring closer the Absolute and Immense
Divinity to our mind.
