The elephant headed god i.e. the Ganesha was given life by Parvati and that too with the help of soap lather on her body at the Gauri Kund. She formed an image of Ganesha with the soap lather and breathed life into that and thus, it led to the formation of her son. She was intending to place Lord Ganesha at the entrance of the place where she was taking bath so that no one could enter that spot and when Lord Shiva came, Ganesha stopped him from entering. Shiva found it to be a very disrespectful act and while being offended he cut off the boy’s head. Witnessing this, Parvati was stuck with immense grief and as a conclusion, she asked Shiva to bring Lord Ganesha back to life and thus, he took the head of a wandering elephant and placed it on the body that as a conclusion brought him back to life.
