What is the historical and traditional background?
The Daridrya Dahana Ganapati Stotram does not have a traceable origin in a specific ancient Purana or Tantra, and its author is unknown. It belongs to the category of later devotional compositions — hymns composed by unknown devotees or scholars within the Puranic and Tantric periods to address specific needs through divine invocation.
