Story Of Lord Ganesha's Birth

It is said that once Goddess Parvati went to take bath but then she realised there was no one to guard her place while she is bathing. In order to make sure nobody enters her place while she is bathing, she created a human figure idol with some turmeric and sandalwood paste. Once the figure was complete, she put life into it. Thus, Lord Ganesha was born.
