- Ganesh is the knowledge and virtue's god, son of Shiva and Parvati, and has an elephant head even if he is born with a human head. Indeed, at five years old, he was looking after his mother's bathroom when his father, who came back from war and didn't see him once, arrived. The obedient boy told to the unknown man not to enter but this one became furious and cut off his child's head. His wife told him who the young boy was and to bring back their son to life. The husband took the first animal head he found, which was an elephant's head.
