Ganesh Tattoos have deep symbolism and meaning. This is because Ganesha is considered as the god of prosperity, happiness, and success in Hinduism. Ganesh is the son of God Shiva and his wife Parvati. Lord Shiva was unaware of this fact so when he saw Ganesh for the first time he cut off his head. Shiva did it because Ganesh tried to stop him from entering Parvati’s room.
When Parvati told about Ganesh’s parentage to Lord Shiva he became sad. Lord Shiva soon brought the head of an elephant and placed it over the body of his son. He brought him back to life.
Lord Ganesha’s birthday is known as Ganesh Chaturthi. It is celebrated all over India in September. Many devotees of Lord Ganesha get inked with his tattoos.
