Feature type Macula
Eponym Ganesha

Ganesa Macula is a dark feature on Saturn's moon Titan. It is named after the Hindu god Ganesha.

Ganesa has been 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.[1]
