Sankashti Chaturthi History

Once Mother Parvati went for a bath, she made Lord Ganesha with her scum and stand him at the door and said that no one should come inside. But then after some time, Lord Shiva reached there, then Ganesh Ji stopped him from going inside. Lord Shiva became enraged and with his trident he beheaded Ganesha. Seeing this condition of son Ganesha, mother Parvati became very sad and started insisting on Shiva Ji to revive her son. When Maa Parvati requested Shiva a lot, Lord Ganesha was given a second life by putting the head of an elephant. Since then his name was Gajmukh, Gajanan. From this day onwards, Lord Ganapati also got the distinction of being the first worshipper and he got a boon that whoever worships and fasts for the devotee or god, all their troubles will be removed and their wishes will be fulfilled.
