In Hinduism
Ganapatya (worship of Ganesha)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - (Ganesha)Prātaḥsnāna (प्रातःस्नान) refers to “early morning ablution”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.18 (“Gaṇeśa crowned as the chief of Gaṇas”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Gaṇeśa: “[...] At the bidding of us both the Vrata shall be performed till the fourth day at the end of a year. Let those who yearn for unequalled happiness in the world worship you devoutly in various ways on the fourth day in accordance with the rules. On the fourth day of Lakṣmī in the month of Mārgaśīrṣa he shall perform early morning ablution (prātaḥsnāna) and entrust the Vrata to the brahmins. [...]”.
Ganapatya (गाणपत्य, gāṇapatya) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Ganesha is revered and worshipped as the prime deity (ishta-devata). Being a minor though influential movement, Ganapatya evovled, llike Shaktism and Shaivism, as a separate movement leaving behind a large body of literature.
