Vināyaka (IAST; Jp. Binayaka, 毘那夜迦), Vighnāntaka, or Gaṇapati (Jp: Ganabachi, 誐那鉢底; Tibetan: tshogs bdag) is a Buddhist deity venerated in various traditions of Mahayana Buddhism. He is the Buddhist equivalent of the Hindu god Ganesha. In Tibetan Buddhism he is also known as the Red Lord of Hosts (Tibetan: tsog gi dag po, mar po). In Japanese Buddhism he is also known as Kangiten (Template:Lang-ja, "god of bliss"; Sanskrit (IAST): Nandikeśvara) or Shōten (聖天, lit. "sacred god" or "noble god").
