Why do we celebrate Ganesha Chaturthi?This is the story of Ganesha's birth which is celebrated across the country especially in the states of Karnataka and Maharashtra as Ganesha Chaturthi.Once, Lord Shiva was away from Mount Kailasha. Goddess Parvati alone & lonely creates a boy out of the sandalwood paste and clay for her company. She loves the boy and considers him her son. One day, she instructs him not to let anyone in while she is bathing. While standing guard, Lord Shiva returns to find this boy obstructing his entry. Enraged, he beheads the boy. Parvati is distraught and her whole world plunges to gloom. Shiva is full of remorse and brings the head of an elephant and places it upon the boy to give the boy a new life.The day when the elephant-headed boy was born is celebrated as Ganesha Chaturthi.Storyteller's BioAparna Athreya is an award-winning storyteller, corporate trainer, children’s author, and leadership coach.
