Ganesh Chaturthi katha
Goddess Parvati shaped a boy from sandalwood paste and asked him to guard her door.
Shiva, not knowing him, cut off his head; to console Parvati he gave the boy an elephant's head.
Shiva blessed him to be worshipped first in every ritual as Ganesha, the remover of obstacles.
A simple home puja. Follow your family tradition and priest where they differ.
