Tara is a female deity in both Hinduism and Buddhism who personifies compassion and offers salvation from the suffering of rebirth and death. She is thought to have been born of empathy for the suffering world and is regularly invoked for protection, guidance, and deliverance from difficult situations. In Hinduism, the goddess Tara (Sanskrit: तारा, Tārā) is the second of the Dasa (ten) Mahavidyas or "Great Wisdom goddesses", and is a form of Adishakti, the tantric manifestation of Parvati. Her most famous centre of worship is the temple and the cremation ground of Tarapith in West Bengal, India.

Ganesha (also Ganesa or Ganapati) is one of the most important gods in Hinduism. He is highly recognisable with his elephant head and human body, representing the soul (atman) and the physical (maya). Also the patron of writers, travellers, students, and commerce, he removes obstacles blocking new projects and is fond of sweets, to the slight detriment of his figure. Ganesha or Ganesh is a popular and revered deity who is believed to be a remover of obstacles or difficulties. Commonly found at the entrances of temples and sacred buildings as a way to protect and often called upon and worshipped before starting anything new as it is believed that Ganesh clears the obstacles and paves the way for us to move forward in life. The elephant-headed Ganesh symbolises wisdom, understanding and intellect and elephants are typically the path-makers in the forest as they create the way for others to follow. A symbol of success and prosperity, Ganesh can be placed at the main entrance of the home for protection against bad luck, in the living area or home office to attract auspicious energy in career and business ventures.
