In the culture of hinduism, lord Ganesh (or Ganesha) is in some sense the "god-luck" who asks for a favor, or a little help to achieve its objectives. It is for this reason that it is so often present in temples, and that he received mountains of offerings !

The stories about the origin of Ganesha are many, but the most frequent is the one where Parvati, the consort of Shiva, wanted to take a bath, she then confided to the custody of the house to Ganesh, forbidding him to let go anyone. What did Ganesh, even when Shiva himself came and expressed his wish to return.
Shiva, who was not familiar with Ganesh, sent his most ferocious fighters that were dug by Ganesh. Shiva, shocked to see such strength in this young man, cut her head.
Parvati, finding her son beheaded, was taken to a rage, and Shiva, to appease, and discovering that he had killed his own son, ordered to fix on the body of the boy the head of the first creature that would cross the path. It was an elephant.
