Ganapati from PaGLi by Tritha
This song came about when Tony started playing one of his bass riffs, and Tritha got inspired to bring out a sanskrit shlok she learnt as a child on Lord Ganesh, also known as ganapati. The track got enriched with Paul caressing the drums and giving the rythm a rather minimalist beat to enrich the lyrical content and the haunting melody climaxing into quite a trance.

Lyrics
Vakratunda Mahakaya
(O Lord Ganesha, of Curved Trunk, Large Body,)
Suryakoti samaprabha
(with the Brilliance of a Million Suns, )
Nirvignam kurume deva
(Please Make All my Works and the good actions and intentions)
Sarvakareshu siddhaya
(Free of Obstacles, Always.)
Ganapati ganapati ganapati ganapati
Gaaiye ganapati Gaaiye ganapati
(Sing the praises of the Lord Ganapati)
