• Ganesha has his elephant head to blame for a tragic misunderstanding. One day when Shiva (father) leaves the House, Parvati (mother), based on skin flakes and oils makes her son Ganesha. When Shiva came home, the waking Ganesha choked him. Shiva believed he was dealing with a rival and cut off his head. Parvati was inconsolable. Servants were instructed to find a new head for the unfortunate, if necessary, from the first living creature they encountered. That turned out to be an elephant, so the torso of Ganesha is from the head of an elephant.

Thus he came back to life, but he had to wear out his existence with a curious head.
Ganesha is often portrayed as Sentinel. He then has in his four hands a stick or an axe. With the axe he chops away false illusions, with the stick he wishes to control. There is more interesting symbolism to his figure, as is the case with most Hindu gods.
For example, depicted a water lily symbolizes Ganesha’s fearlessness and purity. One of his tusks is sometimes broken; This shows that even gods are not perfect. In one of his hands, often rice,is a sign of abundance. His crown is, of course, a sign of holiness, and his small eyes represent the need to look within and understand yourself.
The Mountain of Ganesha is a rat, showing that big and small can live together in peace with each other.
Ganesha is the God of wisdom , bringer of good fortune and protection.
At the beginning of every journey, ritual and major event,Ganesha is initially invoked and worshipped.
