Ganesa Macula is a dark feature on Saturn’s moon Titan. It is named after the Hindu god Ganesha.Ganesa was formerly tentatively identified as a cryovolcanic dome: the result of a mixture of water and ammonia erupting from the center of the dome and spreading out to form a pancake-like deposit. However topographical data have since shown that it is not in fact dome-shaped and as a result there is no longer any evidence that it is of volcanic origin.
