The legend says that Goddess Parvathi shaped Ganesh from sandal wood paste ,and breathed her life into the figure from which lord Ganesh came into existence,and she asked Ganesh to keep guard will she bathes.
Lord shiva came to see His wife Parvathi , ganesh didn't recognize that he was maheshwara,Bolenath the Human god Lord Shiva .So ganesh refused to allow him in ,which angered Shiva to dance his Rudra narthana and he severed the head of Ganesh with his trident ,trishool!!!!
When parvathi returned ,and found her creation Ganesh headless she questioned about this to her lord.
But anything that is destroyed by the holy trident of Lord shiva couldn't be restored to its original form.
Hence Lord shiva sent his people to get a head from a creature that is asleep facing away from the mother towards north direction But they found only the head of a dead elephant. They brought the head
of the elephant and Shiva fixed it on the child's body and brought him
back to life. Lord Shiva also declared that from this day the boy would
be called Ganesh the lord of ganas or elephant.
Ganesh chaturthi is the day of celebration of the rebirth of Lord Gnaesh.
Ganesha is widely worshipped as the god of wisdom, prosperity and good
fortune and traditionally invoked at the beginning of any new venture or
at the start of travel.He is popularly worshipped as a remover of obstacles, though
traditionally he also places obstacles in the path of those who need to
be checked.
Ganesha is considered to be the Lord of letters and learning.
