Ganesh Chaturthi
Date: 19 Sep 2012
The Amrit Kaal is between 1107 hrs to 1332 hrs
Traditional stories tell that Lord Ganesha was created by goddess Parvati, consorp of Lord Shiva. Parvati created Ganesha out of sandalwood paste that she used for her bath and breathed life into the figure. She then set him to stand guard at her door while she bathed. Lord Shiva returned and, as Ganesha didn't know him, he didn't allow him to enter. Lord Shiva became enraged, severed the head of the child and entered his house. After realizing that he had beheaded his own son, Lord Shiva fixed the head of an elephant in place of Ganesha's head. In this way, Lord Ganesha came to be depicted as the elephant-headed God.
