Goddess Durga is known as the Mother of the Universe and the Goddess of Strength, Divine Mother and Protector. She is considered to be the power behind the work of preservation, creation, and destruction of the universe. She is also worshipped as the mother of Ganesha. According to a mythological story, Parvati created Ganesha from the dirt off her body while she was bathing. She then had Ganesha guard the entrance to her bathroom. When her husband, Shiva, came home, he was angry that a stranger blocked his access and cut off Ganesha’s head in a fit of rage. Parvati was struck with grief, and to console her, Shiva restored Ganesha to life, giving him an elephant head.
