Ganesha Chaturthi is a traditional and cultural festival of the Hindus. It is celebrated to worship, honour and respect the Lord Ganesha. God Ganesha is the lovely son of the Goddess Parvati and God Shiva. The legend of Ganesha Chaturthi festival is Lord Ganesh. In the ancient time, once Lord Shiva had gone for his Samadhi in the mountains of Himalayas. Goddess Parvati was alone and thought to create a strong son in the absence of Shiva on the Kailash. She had decided and created Lord Ganesha through the sandalwood paste (which she was used of taking bath) and then breathed a life into that statue. She had given a task to her great son, Ganesh. She said to Ganesh that, be here at the door and do not allow anyone to enter the door till I order you. She was taking bath inside under the guard of her son.
 
Soon, Lord Shiva came from his Samadhi and faced a new boy on the Kailash as he was not aware that Ganesh was his own son. Shiva started going inside and then prevented by the Ganesha to enter to the room. He said that Mata is taking bath and you can enter inside only when she gives me order. Lord Shiva requested a lot but he did not allowed by son. Soon, all the deities and Goddesses gathered and requested to Ganesha for the same. They told Ganesha that Lord Shiva is your father and allow him as he has right to meet your Mata. But Ganesh denied and said that I respect my father but what I can do, I have given a strict order from my mother to stop everyone to enter the door.
 
Lord Shiva became very angry, and then other God and Goddess requested him to go from here and let us try once. The followers of Shiva (Ganas, Vishnu, Brahma, Indra, Narada, Saptarishis, etc) started teaching manners to the child. Indra became very angry and attacked on the child with his all power however Ganesha was very much powerful as he was embodiment of the Shakti. Ganesha defeated everyone. Lord Shiva came again as it was the matter of pride for Shiva. He became angry and cut off the head of Ganesha by his trident. Soon, Mata Parvati came and became very angry by seeing that event. She started weeping by keeping the head and body of Ganesh in her lap. She said that I need my child again on any condition otherwise I would destroy the whole universe.
 
All the God and Goddess started fearing of the decision of Mata Parvati. They prayed to God Shiva to do something. Shiva said that it is impossible to join the same head but we can add head of other one to the body of Ganesha. He ordered to his followers Ganas, to go for search the head. He said that bring the head of anyone who is founded sleeping, facing to the north direction and just opposite to his/her child. Ganas started for searching the head in the whole universe by following the same conditions told by Shiva. Finally, they found a sleeping elephant in the north direction opposite to the child. They cut off the head of that elephant and brought to the Kailash. Lord Shiva added that head to the body of Ganesha. In this way Ganesha got his life back. Mata Parvati said that her son looks like an elephant so everyone would make fun of him, nobody would respect him. Then, Lord Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma, Indra, Ganas and all Goddesses had blessed Ganesha with lots of blessings, power, Ashtra, Shastra, etc. They told that nobody would make fun of Ganesha instead Ganesha would be worshipped by everyone before starting any new work. Ganesha would be given first priority in an
