ndian mythology is flecked with tales of gods, goddesses, demi-gods and demons; of deceitful battles and the definitive longing for power; of creation and destruction; of good and evil; of transgression and penitence.

And somewhere from the many colourful recesses and mysterious crevices of lore, comes the story of Ganesha — the one-tusked God with an elephant head. The wisest of them all, the remover of all obstacles.

On the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, we bring you the story of the birth of the Elephant God. Of the many different interpretations and anecdotes, here’s one that vibrantly describes his cult admiration.
