Turn of Fate - Strong clear and burst
Good Fortune gives kills to teammates Ohm and Dharmic Pillars Ohm stops abilities and escapes Remove Obstacles = free 
Phantom Veil Dharmic Pillars+ Void Stone/ Stone of Binding Remove Obstacles can be blocked
Kali so they won't be salty anymore (hopefully). Also this passive is perfect with Guardian's Blessing and you should get it in every game mode (except duel i guess)! You can also hit a jungle camp with Turn of Fate and then just move back to lane quick while your teammate finish it off and also you can stack minion kills for your carry.
Khepri and his 
Rising Dawn. To use this at its full potential you you will need to hit 5 targets so if you see an enemy standing near there minion wave... BLAST THEM ALL! Also this combo so well with Void Stone and Remove Obstacles... just watch them melt...
Moonlit Waltz + 
Shroud of Darkness so don't just use it for the silence and pop it as soon as you hear big mage burst incoming like 
Rain Fire or 
Earthshaker. But of course the silence is the scary part of this ability it is aoe and lasts 1.8 seconds all levels... use it to prevent enemy escapes and to cancel channeling abilities or prevent them from being cast in the first place. I highly recommend you to set this ability to Quick cast!
Phantom Veil built in. Once you use it its good to follow up with your Ohm tho be careful cause if you miss Remove Obstacles you might be caught with your trunks down... get it? ugh never mind...
Nu Wa players will remember this one! Takes some time getting used to but there are many tricks and mind games you can do to screw over your opponents. It has an insane range so you can peel for you allies from a far or chase enemies. For example you can use one pillar as a wall either to block a path or to use it as a shield against hunters. If an enemy is right next to a wall then you can cast the ult behind them so that they are zoned and they either have to go all the way around or use an escape (unless you Ohm them) or go right trough 2 barriers! Or you could just trap them in the center and CC them with Ohm and Remove Obstacles. Don't forget that this ult CAN shred hard so you need to burst something fast you can cast the damage part of the ult directly on them. And if you're getting focused and need to get out you can place down the ultimate on yourself and run!
START:
It's a supports best item and for 
Ganesha it's like the Yin to his Yang! You can just clear hard and not worry about stealing last hits. Get it every game no exceptions. Don't forget to sell it once your got other 5 items.
Once you get this you wont need to worry about buying wards all the time. Early warding is quite underrated cause not getting ganked helps alot. 2 wards can be placed every back so after 4 backs/respawns 8 wards can be placed and by then it pays for itself! Enjoy your free vision. The sooner you get it the more wards and cost efficiency you get. Otherwise get is as soon as you feel comfortable too.
No one wants to 
Ward but everyone wants to Win. Early game you want these Healing Potion
Multi Potion Ward and Midgame to Lategame you want these Ward
Sentry WardPotion of Physical Might
Potion of Magical Might. And if you're not a Hunter than this Rule applies to you! Counter warding is a more advanced but necessary tactic... you want to place those on the Fire Giant and around mid lane and Gold Fury (you can place the ward directly in the gold fury makes it harder for the enemy to Sentry Ward it)
If you need early speed and to finish boots faster.
Early sustain is important!
Ohm
.
Sovereignty + Heartward Amulet = Gauntlet of Thebes. You want to get this Right after boots in most situations or after Sovereignty or Heartward Amulet
Sovereignty right after finishing boots if you are against 2 Physical gods in duo lane.
Sovereignty but magical version with mp5. Helps alot againt aoe magic damage. get it if you are against 2 magic gods in duo lane.
Spirit Robe offers nice protections but no health and some CDR and defense against it. Since Ganesha is a Tank with long cooldowns he will be in the middle of all the action. He will take Damage, Crowd control and do the same to the enemy so Spirit Robe offers nice balance of those things.
Spirit Robe and the passive come in really handy when you're in those close fights. 
Mantle of Discord helps you too escape since its an automatic self peel and 
Purification Beads also helps you in fights and people usually don't expect the stun. Getting bought Spirit Robe and Mantle of Discord is not a bad idea since for 5400g you get a lot of protections, 30 CDR, and CC protections + a stun and 
Purification Beads.
Rama or Kali you won't regret buying.
Ah Puch, 
Bastet, 
Poseidon, 
Kukulkan, anyone with 
Gem of Isolation, 
Ares, 
Ravana or a slow heavy team in general giving you problems then you won't regret getting this one. There are alot of slows in the game and slows turn into speed boosts and enemies hardly expect it tho cooldown takes a while so watch out.
Ra, 
Aphrodite or even 
Guan Yu and 
Hercules any god that can heal a lot.
Ares, 
Artemis, 
Neith, 
Nox basically automatic Purification Beads.
Sovereignty useful against gods like Kali, 
Skadi, 
Mercury.
Good against Auto Attack heavy gods like Rama, Kali, or any Hunter. Pairing it with Shield of Thorns will make a hunter commit suicide if they hold left mouse button on you.
Dharmic Pillars + 
Sundering Spear + Turn of Fate Void Stone... now watch them melt!
Magic Shell+ Ohm+ Sovereignty+ Gauntlet of Thebes+ Heartward Amulet = OVER A 100 PROTECTIONS FOR YOUR TEAM! in a teamfight this can Turn things around fast.
Vulcan, 
Zeus, 
Scylla. Its always hilarious when a mages like Vulcan or 
Agni leaves there 
Inferno Cannon/
Path of Flames and runs with low hp while you just step into the damage and pop Shield of Thorns. Hide of the Nemean Lion+ Shield of Thorns can make any hunter twitchy with fear.
Heavenly Wings you flee they flee, you attack they attack and it also intimidates the opponents.
Dharmic Pillars+ Ohm.
Ao Kuang, 
Achilles and 
Thanatos just pop it right as they about to execute you or your teammate and quickly peel with Ohm and Remove Obstacles.
Turn of Fate and then aggress if you clear first if not fall back and defend you adc. As soon as you can start roaming through the jungle warding and helping the jungler with camps and ganks in middle but don't forget to keep an eye on the adc if they get attaked go help them fast! Mid to late game, you should help push objectives like towers, phoenixes, The Gold Fury, portal demon and Fire Giant. You should also clear minion waves and defend towers when your team is not around. Here are some guides for more knolage: Ganesha kit works like so: Turn of Fate then Remove Obstacles/ Ohm or vice versa just keep them CC'ed for as long as you can and use you big fat elephant butt to block the enemies path. Or start with Dharmic Pillars then follow up with the rest of your kit. You really cant go too wrong with Ganesha as long as you don't miss, oh and try not to blow you load too soon. keep in mind that Dharmic Pillars can be escaped easy if the enemy has jumps or dashes but Ohm+ Remove Obstacles is the tool to stop them from escaping. Ganesha can do it well. Remove Obstacles is the primary escape tool tho be careful cause it can be body blocked just like
Glorious Charge and Ohm is also useful for preventing enemies from bursting you down while you run. If you really in danger don't be afraid to use Dharmic Pillars on yourself to get out and if all else fail you can always juke move in unpredictable zigzags.
In a nutshell Ganesha is the most pure support god in smite Bringing a lot of peel, CC, clear, shred and even decent damage for a Guardian.
Thank you very much for checking out my first guide I hope you found it useful or learned something. The reason i wanted to make it is cause i wanted to find a guide for Ganesha but couldn't find an in depth one anywhere so i took responsibility and shared what i know. If you have any questions, criticism or anything to add go ahead and type it in the comments i want all the feedback!

And you listed nemean twice.
Also add witchblade, relic dagger, frenzy relic, cursed ankh relic, phantom relic, oni hunter's garb, shogun's kusari, mantle of discord, magi's cloak as situationals.
Also would be nice to see an example build as well.
and i might add an example build.
Reason why so many potions and no boots?
sustain early game is so strong
you can stay and farm in the lane for much longer and safer
when you're full hp and your opponent has to back you have the advantage
early sustain > 6% movement speed (especially if you have sprint/dash)
Witchblade, relic dagger, frenzy relic, cursed ankh relic, phantom relic,shogun's kusari, mantle are very situational and are rarely needed in most situations. I want to focus on the bare minimum scenarios so that newer players would get a basic idea on how the god works. if you want a complex ALL situations possible guide with a walls of text go look for a different guide.
this is only my opinion and what gave me success I'm no pro
so yeah cool that you checked out my guide and bothered to comment too i really appreciate it <3
also health chalice is less health overall at lvl 1 than 5hp pots with some purple ones. by the time you start getting Gauntlet of Thebes you don't need hp5 consumables anymore (you buy wards) . we just have to agree to disagree on this one. Also you're not wrong, movement speed and boots is really powerful having it early helps a lot.
