Ganesh Chaturthi 2022: How was Lord Ganesha Born?

There are several interesting tales about the birth of Ganpatti Bappa, the elephant-headed deity and here’s the most popular one. According to ancient mythology, Mata Parvati made Ganesh from sandalwood paste, gave life to the idol and asked him to guard the gate. Ganesh, unaware of the identity of Lord Shiva, prohibited him from entering the abode. The child’s audacity angered Lord Shiva so much that he separated his head from the body.

Mata Parvati was heartbroken and wanted her son back. Lord Shiva instructed his followers to fetch him the head of any baby animal and this is how an elephant’s head got attached to Lord Ganesh’s body. The day is celebrated as Ganesh Chaturthi with great pomp since then and Ganesh Chaturthi 2022 will be no exception.
