She sent Nandi, her husband Shiva’s Bull, to defend the door and prevent anyone from entering because she didn’t want to be bothered. Intentionally accepting his position, Nandi promised to carry out Parvati’s instructions. But because Nandi was first and foremost loyal to Shiva, he had to let him in when Shiva arrived home and understandably wanted to enter. Even more than this disrespect, Parvati was enraged by the fact that she lacked a companion as devoted to her as Nandi was to Shiva. She then made Ganesha by reanimating the turmeric paste (used for washing) from her body and claiming him to be her own devoted son.The following time Parvati wanted to take a shower, she assigned Ganesha to stand watch at the entrance. Shiva eventually returned home, only to be told he couldn’t get inside by this odd boy! Shiva was enraged and sent his army to kill the youngster, but they all failed! Being the son of Devi, Ganesha possessed such power!Shiva was shocked by this. As soon as Shiva saw this was no ordinary youngster, he chose to engage in combat. In his holy rage, he removed Ganesha’s head, instantly killing him. This infuriated and offended Parvati to the point where she made the decision to wipe out the entire Creation. Being the Creator, Lord Brahma naturally had concerns about this and begged her to rethink her extreme idea. She promised to do so, but only if two requirements were fulfilled: first, Ganesha had to be revived; and second, he had to be worshipped above all other deities continuously.Shiva accepted Parvati’s demands when he had calmed down and realised his error. He dispatched Brahma with the directive to bring back the head of the first animal he crosses whose head is lying northward. Shiva then adorned Ganesha with the head of a sturdy and mighty elephant when Brahma soon returned. Ganesha was given fresh life by the god, who then claimed him as his own son and elevated him to the position of supreme god and head of all ganas (classes of beings), Ganapati.Thitunelli Temple Official website Link
