In this episode of Storytelling with Shweta, we hear a Ganesha story. Ganesha is the iconic elephant-headed God who pretty much everyone is familiar with. He is the son of God Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Ganesha is worshipped as the God of good fortune and new beginnings. This story was requested by a listener.
This family-friendly story is best for all who enjoy stories from the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, Indian mythology and South Asian Folk tales.
