The story behind Lord Ganesh Elephant-Head

According to our Panditjee, the story of the birth of Ganesh is somewhat different, he says that Goddess Parvati was made from the filth taken from her body. When she went to take a bath, she set Ganesh out for her protection.

Unknown to his father, Ganesh, who is the husband of Shiva Lord Parvati, returned home and tried to stop him, which made Shiva angry and beheaded Ganesh.

After this, when Parvati came to know about all this, she became angry with Shiv ji, on which Shiva promised to bring him back the life of Ganesh and put an elephant’s head on it and thus got Ganesh’s life again.

Why do we celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi?

Our Panditjee says that It is believed Lord Ganesh was born on the first day of the bright fortnight of Bhadra month. According to the Puranas and Hindu scriptures, Lord Shree Ganesh was born on the fourth day of Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada month.

Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated for 10 days. During this time, devotees install the idol of Lord Ganesh in their homes and worship Lord Ganesh for the whole ten days. Ganapati Ji is immersed on the last day of Ganesh Chaturthi. It is said that worshipping Lord Ganesh brings happiness, prosperity, and prosperity at home.

Many people observe fast on this day, it is said that Lord Ganesh is happy by keeping the fast and fulfils the wishes of his devotees. In such a situation, devotees worship Lord Ganesh with great reverence.
