Vatapi Ganapatim
''Vatapi Ganapatim'', also known as ''Vatapi ganapatim bhaje ham'' or ''Vatapi ganapatim bhaje'', is a Sanskrit ''kriti'' song by the South Indian poet-composer Muthuswami Dikshitar (1775–1835), one of the "Trinity of Carnatic music". The panegyrical hymn praises Vatapi Ganapati, the stone icon of the Hindu god Ganesha (Ganapati) worshipped in a shrine in Tiruchenkattankudi in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The hymn is composed in Hamsadhvani raga (musical mode), however in tradition of kritis, individual performers add their own variations in the tune. ''Vatapi Ganapatim'' is described as the best-known piece of Muthuswami Dikshitar as well as one of the most popular compositions of Carnatic music (South Indian classical music school). The hymn is traditionally sung at the beginning of many Carnatic music concerts.
== Background: Vatapi Ganapati ==
''Vatapi Ganapatim'' is a part of the series of hymns called ''Shodasa Ganapati kritis'', a collection of songs dedicated to sixteen Ganesha icons located in shrines around Dikshitar's birthplace Thiruvarur.〔Catlin p. 142〕 ''Vatapi Ganapatim'' is dedicated to the image of Vatapi Ganapati of Tiruchenkattankudi in Thiruvarur district, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
As per oral tradition, the icon of Vatapi Ganapati was brought booty from the Chalukyan capital of Vatapi (presently known as Badami in northern Karnataka) by Paranjothi, the commander-in-chief of the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I (reign: 630–668 CE), following the conquest of Pallavas over the Chalukyas (642 CE). The icon was placed in Paranjothi's birthplace Tiruchenkattankudi. Later, Paranjothi renounced his violent ways and became a Shaiva monk known as Siruthondar, is venerated as a Nayanar saint today.〔Catlin pp. 146, 150〕〔 However, no written records substantiate the oral tradition; the Ganesha icon is missing from list of war booty brought by the Pallava general.〔
The icon of Vatapi Ganapati is currently enshrined in a secondary shrine in the temple complex of Uthrapathiswaraswamy Temple, Tiruchenkattankudi, dedicated to the god Shiva, Ganesha's father. Besides Vatapi Ganapati, the temple complex also has a shrine to Ganesha, who is depicted with a human head, instead of the elephant head he is usually depicted with. The Shiva temple was known as Siruthonda Ganapatishvara, named over Siruthondar. The name "Ganapatishvara", which also gives the town its alternate name "Ganapatishvaram", denotes Shiva as "Lord of Ganesha" and alludes to the legend that Ganesha killed a demon and then worshipped his father Shiva here.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Vatapi Ganapati )〕
