Ganesha has few of his own temples in these lands,

tens of thousands of small Ganesha images are found everywhere, and one or two

larger images. He was worshiped in the Saivite

tradition that covered these areas as early as 400CE.

While we

do not find temples dedicated specifically to Ganesha, He is found in almost

every Siva shrine throughout the islands.
