It is very rare that one finds Lord Ganesha with Skull.
While in the South Ganesha is worshiped as a Celibate, Brahmachari, He is worshiped with two wives in the North India, Siddhi and Buddhi being His two wives, representing the Chitta and Discrimination.
Ganesha is shrouded in Tantra Shastra,
The Snake coiling around His Stomach,the shape of Lord Ganesha in the form of Sanskrit letter OM are indicative of this.
Not many are aware that there is a Ganesha Upanishad.
And the Vinayakar Agaval by Avvaiyar is the expression of Yoga Sastra.
There is also a Temple for the Lord Ganesha with Skull.
