During Snana-yatra of Lord Jagannatha, Lord is wearing Hati Vesha (elephant mask), dressed like Lord Ganesh! So, we can see that Supreme Lord is sometimes manifesting and perform His Lila in many, many forms. Advaitam acyutam anadim ananta-rupam [Bs. 5.33]. Anadim means without end, rupam means form.

Here is nectarian pastime how Lord Jagannath appeared like Lord Ganesh. Nityananda! Gauranga!

Once, a profound scholar, devotee of  Lord Ganesh visited Puri during Snana Yatra. The king asked the scholar to accompany him to see Lord Jagannath which he refused under the pretext that he wouldn't worship any "God" other than his Ishthadevata � Lord Ganesh. Somehow he was persuaded and brought before the Snana vedi.  To the utter surprise of all, Lord Jagannath appeared with an elephantine form that resembled as Lord Ganesh! Since then during Snana Yatra when the sacred bath is performed, the Deities are dressed wearing Hati Vesha (elephant mask),
