The mythology behind the birth of Lord Ganesha with a human body and an elephant’s head is very interesting to know and watch. It is said that once Lord Shiva, unaware of Ganesha as his son, kills him out of annoyance and lack of ignorance. When Parvati aggressively asks God Shiva to bring back Ganesha into life, Shiva altered an elephant’s head on Ganesha’s neck. Starting that day Ganesha is being worshiped as the lord of learning, knowledge, and Vidya. He is venerated as Gajanana. This story is specified in the Rudra Samhita of Shiva Purana
