Why Do We Celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi?

Content Provider Culture & Heritage - Assorted Archive
Description This video presents the story of the Ganesh Chaturthi festival for children. There are many stories associated with the birth of Lord Ganesha, the most popular being the one from the Siva Puran. It's believed that once Goddess Parvati created an idol of a boy with turmeric and infused life into it, Ganesha was instructed by his mother to stand guard while she went for a bath. Ganesha was standing guard when Lord Shiva arrived. Unknown to each other, the father and son had a fight, which resulted in Lord Shiva shearing off Ganesha’s head with his ‘Trishul’. When Parvati saw her son’s dead body, she demanded that Lord Shiva bring him back to life. Lord Shiva then replaced Ganesha's head with an elephant’s. Since then, Ganesha is called ‘Ganapathi’ meaning ‘head of the celestial army’ and is worshipped by all before any auspicious activity.
