According to popular Hindu mythology, Goddess Parvati created Ganesha out of sandalwood paste to guard her privacy while she was bathing. When Lord Shiva returned and tried to enter, Ganesha, unaware of his identity, stopped him. This led to a confrontation, resulting in Ganesha's head being severed by Lord Shiva. To appease Parvati, Shiva replaced Ganesha's head with that of an elephant, making him whole again. Since then, Lord Ganesha has been venerated as the god of wisdom and remover of obstacles. Ganesh Puja commemorates his birth and is celebrated with great devotion and enthusiasm across India and in many parts of the world. It involves the installation of Ganesha idols in homes and temples, elaborate rituals, chanting of prayers, and offering of various sweets and delicacies to the deity.
