As per the legends, Once Mahadev had gone out of Kailas on an errand. Goddess Parvathi was readying herself for a bath. She created a boy from her sweat drops and called him Ganesha. She asked him to guard the bathroom and allow no one to come unless she asks him to let them in. Ganesha agreed and stood on guard for his mother near the bathroom.

When Lord Shiva came back, he asked Ganesha to allow him to go inside the room for which Ganesha refused. In the fight that ensued, angry Shiva severed the head of Ganesha and went it. Parvathi was inconsolable and went into mourning. So Lord Shiva brought the head of an elephant that had just died in the northern direction from the Kailas and Lord Ganesha woke up now in a different form.
