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 dome-shaped," and as a result, "there is no longer any evidence that it is of volcanic origin."
