    Small altar of God

    Wikipedia:
    Countless legends in the Puranas offer different versions as an explanation for the origin of Ganesha, who is said to have originally not had an elephant head but a human head. A popular story in Shiva Purana reports that Parvati, Shiva's wife, created Ganesha in Shiva's absence: According to this, she formed a little boy from the clay with which she had rubbed her body, poured Ganges water over him and woke him up Life. She called him Ganesha and put him on guard in front of her house. When Shiva came, Ganesha blocked his way. Shiva cut off his head and got into the house. When Shiva noticed that he had just killed Parvati's son, he ordered his servants to bring the head of a living being that turns its sleep to the north. This living being was an elephant, and Shiva placed its head on Ganesha's torso to bring it back to life. [4] As a result, Ganesha, who was previously only Parvati's son, also became Shiva's son.
