Ganesha: The Elephant-Headed God

Ganesha, also known as Ganapati, is one of the most popular and widely worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon. The son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, Ganesha's unique elephant head is perhaps his most recognizable feature. Various stories recount its origin. One popular tale tells of Parvati creating Ganesha from sandalwood paste to guard the entrance of her home. When Shiva returned, Ganesha, not recognizing him, prevented him from entering. Enraged, Shiva severed Ganesha's head. Parvati was heartbroken, and Shiva, realizing his mistake, promised to restore Ganesha to life. He sent his ganas (attendants) to find the first animal they encountered facing north and to bring its head. They returned with the head of an elephant, which Shiva then placed on Ganesha's body, bringing him back to life. Beyond the stories, Ganesha's elephant head is symbolic of wisdom, understanding, and intellect. His large ears signify the ability to listen attentively, his small eyes represent concentration, and his trunk symbolizes adaptability and strength. He is often depicted with a single tusk, which represents his ability to overcome duality and perceive the world with a clear and unbiased perspective.
