32 Forms of Lord Ganesha in short

Muladhara: The Root Chakra – located at base of the spine. Associated with red. It affects your confidence, trust in life and self-esteem. It is from here that our base instincts arise; the need to survive or the fight or flight reflex. Hindu God –Lord Ganesh and Brahman.

Yes, Ksema and Labha are believed to be his sons according to Shiva Purana and this reference of it is symbolical however not accurate in its own symbolism. It's more to do with the actual belief of Ganesha himself being the obstacle remover and to he was believed to have Ksema and Labha as offspring Ksema means prosperity, Labha means profit. Essential elements to remove most obstacles in a material sense of this existential world.

Also its believed that his consorts / wives were Riddhi and Siddhi who helped procreate Ksema and Labha... Makes sense of course.

**The 1975 Hindi film Jai Santoshi Maa shows Ganesha married to Riddhi and Siddhi and having a daughter named Santoshi Ma, the goddess of satisfaction. This story has no Puranic basis, but Anita Raina Thapan and Lawrence Cohen cite Santoshi Ma's cult as evidence of Ganesha's continuing evolution as a popular deity.

Ramachandra Rao says that:
The first sixteen of the forms of Gaṇapati shown [in the Sritattvanidhi] are more popularly worshipped under the name shoḍaśa-gaṇapati. Among them, the thirteenth, viz. Mahāgaṇapati, is especially widely worshipped. There is a tāntrik sect which is devoted to this form. Śakti-gaṇapati, Ucchishṭa-gaṇapati and Lakshmī-gaṇapati are also tāntrik forms, which receive worship which is cultic and esoteric. Heraṃba-gaṇapati is popular in Nepāl.

Heramba Ganapati: -Black colored image of ten-armed Ganesha with five faces, seated on a lion. Five-faced, white in color, Heramba Ganapati, “Protector of the Weak,” rides a big lion. He extends the gestures of protection and blessing while holding a noose, japa beads, axe, hammer, tusk, garland, fruit and modaka.
