History defines the existence of Lord Ganesha, which happened through the sandalwood paste prepared by Mata Parvati while taking a bath. Ganesha was created in the absence of Lord Shiva.
One day when Lord Shiva came to meet Goddess Parvati, Ganesha was guarding his mother and prohibited Lord Shiva from entering the zone where Mata Parvati was taking a bath. Lord Shiva and Bal Ganesha had a conflict in which aggressive Shiva separated Ganesha’s head from his body.
When Mata Parvati arrived, she became furious and said she would destroy the universe. Therefore, to handle the situation, Lord Shiva took the head of the baby elephant and attached it to baby Ganesha’s head. This is the reason why Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated across India.
