[[File:Dr.R_Ganesh1.JPG|thumb|right|Ganesh speaking in the felicitation program of [[S. L. Bhyrappa]] ]]
Ganesh is well known for his performances of ''[[Avadhanam|avadhana]]'', in which he composes extempore solutions in metrical verse to problems posed in parallel by the ''pṛcchaka''s on stage, satisfying the constraints imposed by them, while simultaneously dealing with interruptions designed to break his concentration.<ref name=day1vv/><ref name=interview/> The performance tests poetic skill, creativity, memory, concentration, scholarship, and wit.<ref name=day1kpp/> The main variants are the Aṣṭāvadhāna (eight ''pṛcchaka''s) and Śatāvadhāna (hundred ''pṛcchaka''s), both of which he performs.<ref name=interview/>

Although there are records of Bellave Narahari Sastry performing ''avadhana'' in Kannada during 1933–36 (having learnt it from Telugu's Pisupati Chidambara Shastri), there was no living tradition of avadhana in Kannada when Ganesh took it up; thus he is credited with reviving ''avadhana'' in Kannada.<ref name=interview/><ref name=day1kpp/><ref name=culturalindia/> In 1981, after seeing an avadhana performance for the first time, by Lepakshi Medavaram Mallikarjuna Sharma, he tried one himself in front of his friends.<ref name=interview/> He performed 13 astavadhana between 1981 and 1987.<ref name=interview/> In 1987, he gave a major astavadhana performance at Kolar in the centenary year of [[D. V. Gundappa]], where thousands of people and several learned persons assembled.<ref name=interview/> His 100th and 200th astavadhanas were also performed at Kolar, his native place.<ref name=culturalindia/> His astavadhanas became very popular and he gave hundreds of performances, some of which were viewed by people even in pouring rain.<ref name=interview/> He has performed ''avadhana''s using eight languages, including Sanskrit, Kannada and Telugu.<ref name=interview/> He is also credited with introducing ''chitrakavya'' into ''avadhana'', previously considered impossible to do in an ''avadhana''.<ref name=interview/> He has given more than 20 avadhana performances in American and European countries.<ref name=culturalindia/>

He performed his first Shatavadhana at [[Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan]], Bangalore on 15 December 1991.<ref name=interview/> He did another one 15 days later, then one each again in 1992 and 1993, with his fifth, the first to be done entirely in Kannada, in 2012.<ref name=interview/><ref name=day3kp/><ref name=day3vv/>

In addition to his D. Litt thesis ''The Art of Avadhana in Kannada'' and the forthcoming ''Avadhana Sahasra'', he has written books about the art of Avadhana to groom future ''avadhani''s <ref name=interview/> including ''Shatavadhana Sharade'', ''Shatavadhana Srividye'' and ''Sataavadhaana Shaashvati''. He has also started lectures on poetry composition, prosody and poetics on the website of "Padyapaana" organisation.<ref name=interview/>

==Other work==
He performed a shatavadhana in a single day in 1991{{Citation needed|date=March 2016}}. He also gives public lectures,<ref name=lectures/> on dance (''[[Natya Shastra|nāṭya śāstra]]''), music,<ref name=raagaanuraaga/><ref name=raagaanuraagapv/> art, culture, literature,<ref name=kalidasa/> poetics, etc.<ref name=day1kpr/> In his kAvya-chitra shows, he performs with painter [[B.K.S.Varma]], composing poems while the latter paints.<ref name=kavyachitra1/><ref name=kavyachitra2/> He has also written lyrics and composed verses for dance performances.<ref name=interview/><ref name=dance1/><ref name=dance2/> He learned the performance art [[Yakshagana]] and conceived the idea of ''eka vyakthi yakshagana'' (single-person Yakshagana), of which several performances have been given by Mantapa Prabhakara Upadhyaya.<ref name=interview/> He has played the role of [[Horatio (Hamlet)|Horatio]] (dubbed Harshananda) in a Sanskrit production of ''[[Hamlet]]''.<ref name=horatio/> He has given multiple lectures on various topics in Gokhale Institute of Public affairs, most of which is published on YouTube.
