Creation of Lord Ganesha

Ganesha also referred as Ganesa, Ganesh, Vigneshvara, Ganapati, Vinayaka, and Pillaiyar, is one of the best-known and most widely worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon.

. Hence she created an image of a boy out of turmeric paste that was prepared to cleanse her body and infused life into it, and thus Ganesha was born. and to stop anyone from accidentally entering the house The most well known story is probably the one taken from the Shiva Purana. Once, while his mother Parvati wanted to take a bath, there were no attendants around to guard her

. and demanded that Ganesha let him go in. But Ganesha would not hear any person's word other than his dear mother's . He told Ganesha that he was Parvati's husband, . Shiva was infuriated at this strange little boy who dared to challenge him , and as he tried to enter the house, Ganesha stopped him Parvati ordered Ganesha not to allow anyone to enter the house, and Ganesha obediently followed his mother's orders. After a while Lord Shiva returned from outside

. At last he chopped off Ganesha's head with his trishula/trident. When Parvati came out and saw her son's headless body, she was very angry! She demanded that Shiva restore Ganesha's life/head at once and had a fierce battle with Ganesha Shiva lost his patience

. , Shiva approached Brahma (another Hindu God) who suggested that he replace Ganesha's head with that of the first living being he finds on his way that had laied its head facing the north direction . As a last resort . All attempts to find the head were in vain Unfortunately, Shiva's trishula/trident was so powerful that it had hurled Ganesha's head miles away

. . They found a dying elephant that slept in the said manner. The army chopped this elephant's head which was later attached to Ganesha's body and thus bringing him back to life Shiva then sent his celestial armies (Gana) to find and take the head of whatever creature they happened to find asleep with its head facing north
