**Ganesa Macula** is a dark feature on [Saturn](/source/Saturn)'s moon [Titan](/source/Titan_(moon)). It is named after the [Hindu](/source/Hindu) god [Ganesha](/source/Ganesha).

Ganesa was formerly tentatively identified as a [cryovolcanic](/source/Cryovolcano) dome: the result of a mixture of [water](/source/Water) and [ammonia](/source/Ammonia) erupting from the center of the dome and spreading out to form a [pancake](/source/Pancake)-like deposit. However, topographical data have since shown that it is not dome-shaped, and as a result, there is no longer any evidence that it is of volcanic origin.[1]
