According to the legend, Goddess Parvati made the Lord with the dirt of her body and ordered him to guard the door. When Lord Shiva asked to let him go inside, Ganesh refused to do so. Thus, he beheaded him. When Parvati got furious, Shiva promised to bring Ganesh back to life and then fixed an elephant’s head on his body.
