There is another deity besides Ganesha who destroys obstacles. He has a big mask for a face. He is more direct then Ganesha. I forget his name, does some one know who he is?

Lord Ganapaty is the lord of obstacles.So if he does not want ur obstacle to be removed none in the 3 worlds can remove it. – Rickross Aug 29 '16 at 14:22

Lord Maha Vishnu is also worshiped for removing obstacles from our lives. As this beautiful sanskrit shloka describes -
शुक्लाम्बरधरं विष्णुं शशिवर्णं चतुर्भुजम् ।
प्रसन्नवदनं ध्यायेत् सर्वविघ्नोपशान्तये ॥
Shukla-Ambara-Dharam Vissnnum Shashi-Varnnam Catur-Bhujam | Prasanna-Vadanam Dhyaayet Sarva-Vighno[a-U]pashaantaye ||
Meaning: 1: (We Meditate on Sri Vishnu) Who is Wearing White Clothes, Who is All-Pervading, Who isBright in Appearance like the Moon and Who is Having Four Hands, 2: Who is Having a Compassionate and Gracious Face, Let us Meditate on Him To Ward of all Obstacles.

3There's lots of controversy as to who that verse is addressed to. Some people think it's Ganesha, others think it's Vishnu, and still others think it's Vishnu's general Vishvaksena. In any case, you're certainly correct that Vishnu is capable of removing all obstacles. – Keshav Srinivasan Aug 17 '16 at 04:05

But regardless I don't think Vishnu is the god that the OP had in mind, because he said the god "has a big mask for a face". – Keshav Srinivasan Aug 17 '16 at 04:06

@KeshavSrinivasan - ok , I will try to give answer in OP point of view. Will search about the deity having mask. :) – SwiftPushkar Aug 17 '16 at 04:11

@KeshavSrinivasan - If necessary pls. Convert answer as comment ,whatever you think the best. Because I have missed Mask part somehow. – SwiftPushkar Aug 17 '16 at 05:19

1@LeeBar - Check this image , its a image of a man holding a mask in hands. The mask is a face of Ganesha (Obstacle Removing God In Hinduism). The image is from play performed in Kokan region of India called "Dashavatara" play. You might be refering to Lord Ganesha itself and possibly no other deity http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vYkkkdoBWqE/ShKYsYkypWI/AAAAAAAABCo/zjth12jyMsk/s1600-h/19.JPG – SwiftPushkar Aug 18 '16 at 15:23
