The Story of Ganesha's Elephant Head

The tale of how Lord Ganesha acquired his iconic elephant head is one of the most beloved stories in Hindu mythology, illustrating themes of devotion, transformation, and divine wisdom. The Creation of Ganesha Goddess Parvati, the consort of Lord Shiva, wished to take a private bath. She asked Nandi, one of Shiva’s most loyal followers, to stand guard outside her bathing area. However, when Shiva approached, Nandi, being dutiful to his master, allowed him to enter. This left Parvati feeling embarrassed and disrespected.
