The festival of Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated every year for Shri Ganesh. This festival is starting from 22 August this year. In such a situation, today we are going to tell you why Lord Ganesha is called Ekadanta. Let's know the mythology behind it.

Why Lord Ganesha is called Ekadanta - According to the legend, Goddess Parvati went to bathe and seated Ganesha at the main door and told not to let anyone enter. Then Lord Shiva arrived there. When he tried to enter, Ganesh stopped him. Lord Shankar got angry on this and in anger, he severed Ganesha's head. Shivji later gave elephant head to Ganesha.

According to another legend, when Lord Shankar and Mata Parvati were resting in their bedroom, they placed Ganesha at the door and told not to let anyone come. Then Parashurama came there and asked to meet Lord Shankar. But Ganesh ji refused to do so. Parshuram got angry on this and broke one of his teeth with his ax.

It is said that on the day of Ganesh Chaturthi, this story should be listened to because great things can be made in choots. There are big benefits too.
