A Perfect Ganesh follows two WASP women on a vacation to India without their husbands. What starts an innocent vacation, turns into a spiritual journey for both women led by the god Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, who helps guide them through facing the losses and tragedies that both have buried deep inside. With Ganesha spiritually by their side, the women’s journey through India is funny and poignant with both finding the inner peace that they have longed for – self forgiveness for the past, and renewed friendship to face future obstacles.
