#Ganesh is popular #Hindu god associated with beginnings, luck, and the removal of obstacles. He is particularly venerated in #Rajasthan and we were in #Jaipur during the start of Gansha Chaturthi. When we arrived at our hotel, we noticed two altars to him. And as we left our hotel, we realized that there was a third one just above the door. If you look at many homes here, you will see a small idol of #Ganesha just above the door.

2. "gajawadana beduwe" by K.J. Yesudas

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRzJwhnpKAM

"gajawadana" conjugates the words gaja (गज elephant) and wadana (वदन face) to simply mean "elephant face".

"beduwe" (ಬೇಡುವೆ) is a Kannada word to mean "I plead."

Together, "gajawadana beduwe" means "I plead/appeal to the one with elephant face".

To end, here are Carnatic renderings of two popular songs on Ganesha:

1. "lambodara lakumikara" by S. Janaki
(the first song a student of Carnatic music learns)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqZQdryENoo

"lambodara" combines lamba (लम्ब) and udara (उदर) to mean "large belly".

"lakumikara" conjugates "lakumi" a Kannada aberration of Sanskrit "lakshmi" (लक्ष्मी wealth in this context) and "kara" (कर creator).

Naturally, there are many variations of this story, and it seems the story changes a bit each time it is told, but the essence remains. Also, there are many holes in the story.

However, regardless of the detail, it is important to learn and enjoy the essence, and if you can, enjoy some of the food as well. 😀

BTW the traditional dish for this day is "modaka" (मोदक)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modak

Shiva transplants the elephant head onto the boy, resurrects him, and accepts him as a son. Recognizing the boy's courage and determination, Shiva also makes the boy the head of the gaNa.

And that is how the boy gets an elephant head and also comes to be known as Ganesha: gaNa (troops) + eesha (chief, lord).

Shiva calms down after a while and agrees to restore the boy's life. He asks his troops (गण gaNa) to bring him the head of the first being that is sleeping with its head to North.

The troops happen on an elephant asleep with its head to North and promptly bring back its head.

Irked, Shiva insists he be let in and demands that if the boy is indeed Paarwathi's son, then he should abide by the father as well. But the boy stands his ground.

Shiva is now super angry and chops off the boy's head with his trademark trident.

Hearing the boy's cry, Paarwathi comes out running and sees her son dead. She argues Shiva should have seen the boy was only doing as told and pleads his life be restored.

It just so happens that Shiva stops by to see Paarwathi, and the vigilant boy stops him too. Shiva politely but firmly informs the boy that he is Shiva, the lord of everything, and BTW also Paarwathi's husband.

The boy acknowledges Shiva but still denies him entry because his mother has ordered that *no one* should be allowed in.

On to the myth:

One day, Shiva's consort Paarwathi (पार्वति) is bathing and makes a figure of a very young boy [think about 10] from her bodily impurity [remember, myth] and breathes life into the figure. She then asks the boy to guard the bathroom door and not let *anyone* in.

The boy stands guard at the door and dutifully shoos away everyone that comes looking for his "mother".

Second, about the name: In Sanskrit, the word Ganesha (गणेश gaNaesha, N is hard nasal) is a combination of two words:

गण (gaNa) which means band/army (of troops)
ईश (eesha) which means lord/chief

गण + ईश = गणेश by the grammar rule named "guNa sandhi" (गुणसन्धि)

PS: Ganesha is also called Ganapathi, Ganaadheesha. Suffixes pathi (पति) and adheesha (अधीश) mean lord/owner.
