    Sometimes you just need a little me time when your husband is the destoryer of the universe. Unfortunately, the only one who could guard Parvati's bath was Nandi, Shiva's bull. Who was loyal to Shiva and couldn't keep him out. Parvati created Ganesha as her son to help guard the bathhouse instead but... well let's just say there was a little bit of a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding that led to Shiva cutting off Ganesha's head. Hopefully nothing a lil bandaid can't fix.

      Bramha's condition was that cut off that animals(including human) kids head who is sleeping with his head in South direction and his mother is facing away in other direction. Some stories also say that they took one head of Airavat mount of Indra as he had 7 heads. Side note:- Shiva has all forces of good or evil then they might be gods, demons, ghosts etc. as his disciples and he doesn't discriminates he takes them all as they are.

      Then, bewildered and astonished, his hair standing on end, Arjuna bowed his head to offer obeisances and with folded hands began to pray to the Supreme Lord.
      Arjuna said:
      My dear Lord Krsna, I see assembled in Your body all the demigods and various other living entities. I see Brahma sitting on the lotus flower, as well as Lord Siva and all the sages and divine serpents.
      O Lord of the universe, O universal form, I see in Your body many, many arms, bellies, mouths and eyes, expanded everywhere, without limit. I see in You no end, no middle and no beginning.
      Your form is difficult to see because of its glaring effulgence, spreading on all sides, like blazing fire or the immeasurable radiance of the sun. Yet I see this glowing form everywhere, adorned with various crowns, clubs and discs.
      You are the supreme primal objective. You are the ultimate resting place of all this universe. You are inexhaustible, and You are the oldest. You are the maintainer of the eternal religion, the Personality of Godhead. This is my opinion.
      You are without origin, middle or end. Your glory is unlimited. You have numberless arms, and the sun and moon are Your eyes. I see You with blazing fire coming forth from Your mouth, burning this entire universe by Your own radiance.
      .
      He got so terrified to see the actual form of the god that he asked Krishna to return to his human form.

    Telugu Version: shiva grants wish to Gajamukasura( Gaja: Elephant, Muka: Face, Asura: Demon) for his penance that his wish of him residing in his stomach. To relieve him vishnu along with nandi go to demons cout and perform a play as the demon king grants any whish he seeks for vishnu he says bull wants his owner so he realises the maya of vishnu and asks nandi to tear apart his stomach and get back his master. But asks for a final wish that his head should always be prayed and his skin should always be on shiva and so on. As her husband is coming after the whole ordeal parvati starts to prepare to welcome him anf later ganesha is created and placed as guard made from bath powder and power gained by using her fathers spell to grant the boy life and shiva comes and beheads him and story continues on.
    This is and many other stories regarding ganesha are said in our family every year at ganesh chatudasy festival.
