Ganesha Vandana
गणेश वन्दना
Invocations to Ganapati — Vighnaharta, remover of obstacles, invoked before any beginning. Sung above all on Chaturthi, his tithi, and through Ganesh Utsav in Bhadrapada. These are bhajans and traditional compositions, not a single codified raga; the melodic material varies by singer, so no thaat, aaroha or vadi is claimed here.

Dosha effect
Vata -1 · Pitta ±0 · Kapha ±0(−2 pacifies · +2 aggravates)
The settling here comes from the steady, repetitive cadence of an invocation rather than from any codified raga lakshana — a grounding effect on scattered vata. No classical dosha attribution exists for this bucket.
