Among the many places where Ganesh Chaturthi is observed with grandeur, the Moti Dungri Temple in Jaipur, Rajasthan, stands out for its majestic celebrations and immense faith of devotees.

THE STORY BEHIND GANESH CHATURTHI According to Hindu mythology, Lord Ganesha is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. There are several legends surrounding his birth, the most popular being that Parvati created Ganesha from the sandalwood paste she used for bathing. She breathed life into the figure and instructed him to guard the door while she bathed. When Lord Shiva returned and was denied entry by the young boy, an enraged Shiva severed Ganesha's head. Parvati, devastated by the act, demanded her son be brought back to life.
