The Mysterious Creation of Ganesh
At the heart of this anthology lies the captivating tale of how the beloved elephant-headed deity, Ganesh, came to be.

When Lord Shiva returned home, he was enraged to find a strange boy guarding his wife's chamber. In a fit of anger, he severed the boy's head with his trident. Upon seeing Parvati's distress, Shiva realized the terrible mistake he had made and promised to find a replacement head for the boy.
Lord Shiva's celestial messengers scoured the earth, searching for an appropriate head. They finally found a mighty elephant calf that had been slain by a hunter.
