Legend and Stories

As Ganesha was elephant-headed, no girl was ready to marry him. This angered Ganesha when he saw all the other gods with their Consort, so he started creating problems in the marriages of Devas (demigods). He asked the rats to dig up holes on the path through which wedding procession of any Deva, who goes to the bride’s house. The Devas started facing lots of problems in their weddings. Finally the Devas fed up with the activities of Ganesha and complained to Brahma, who agreed to solve the problem. In order to please Ganesha, Brahma (Prajapati) created two beautiful women named Riddhi (wealth and prosperity) and Siddhi (intellectual and spiritual powers). Brahma gave them in marriage to Ganesha. From that day onwards whoever pleases Ganesha also gets the blessings of Siddhi and Riddhi.
