In Hinduism
Ganapatya (worship of Ganesha)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - (Ganesha)Udyāpana (उद्यापन) refers to “(the rite of) formal dismissal” (for the completion of the Vrata of Gaṇeśa), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.18 (“Gaṇeśa crowned as the chief of Gaṇas”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Gaṇeśa: “[...] Then the rites shall formally be dismissed. Then he shall remember Gaṇeśa. Thus the Vrata shall be concluded auspiciously. When thus the Vrata is duly completed in a year, the devotee shall perform the rite of formal dismissal (udyāpana-vidhi) for the completion of the Vrata. At my bidding twelve brahmins shall be fed. After placing a jar your image shall be worshipped. [...]”.
Ganapatya (गाणपत्य, gāṇapatya) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Ganesha is revered and worshipped as the prime deity (ishta-devata). Being a minor though influential movement, Ganapatya evovled, llike Shaktism and Shaivism, as a separate movement leaving behind a large body of literature.
