One day Parvati Shiva's beloved wife was going for her bath,Parvati gathered the saffron paste (used at the time of bathing), from her own body and created a boy. The boy was handsome and strong. She gave the boy life and hugged him dearly & told him he was her son and should guard the entrance when she went to bath. Thus Ganesh was created..
Gave the boy a staff and asked him to guard the door, "Do not to allow any one to enter without my permission. Ganesh took up his post and undertook his assignment enthusiastically.
In due course the Lord Shiva returned from his war and went to enter. Ganesh, according to his instructions, forbade him entry.
Shiva was enraged by Ganesh’s impudence and drew his sword and cut off Ganesh's head.
Parvathi emerged to find Ganesh decapitated and flew into a rage. Even though he was immensely powerful Shiva was upset with Pavarti’s rage. The gods and Shiva pacified her and the latter sent out his ganas,to bring the head of the first living being with his head towards the north (the auspicious direction associated with wisdom).The first living creature they found sleeping with his head to the north was an elephant.They brought the head of this animal and Shiva placed it on the trunk of Parvati's son and breathed life into him.
Parvathi embraced her son with joy, Shiva apologized for his arrogance and declared "Hence on, this valiant boy will be my son.He will be respected as any other God and will be worshipped before any other God.He will be called Ganesh, the chief of my Ganas -"Ganpati”and also Vigneshwar,the remover of all obstacles.
