Why Ganesha Is Worshipped First: The Story of His Birth and the Race Around the World
by TOHFA · 2 Oct 2026
Before a wedding, a new business, a housewarming or even a child's first lesson, Indian families say the same name first: Ganesha. Two stories, told for generations, explain why.
The story of his birth
As the tradition is told, Goddess Parvati fashioned a boy from sandalwood paste and gave him life, asking him to guard her door while she bathed. When Lord Shiva returned, the boy — who knew only his mother's command — would not let him pass. In the conflict that followed, the boy lost his head. Parvati's grief was so great that Shiva promised to restore him, and he did, with the head of an elephant. Shiva then blessed the boy: he would be honoured before all others, and every new beginning would start with his name.
