The Elephant-Headed Hero: Ganesha Tales

As Mumma and Dadda prepare for Ganesh Chaturthi, curious Zara and Reyan have plenty of questions — Why do we make Ganesha from clay? Why does mighty Ganesha have a tiny Mushak as his vahan? Why do we bring him home, celebrate him, and then immerse him in water?

With Nanaji as their storyteller and guide, the children discover the fascinating stories and traditions surrounding Lord Ganesha — from his elephant head and little Mushak to the much-loved story of Ganesha and Kartikeya. They also explore how Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated across India, the traditions followed in different states, and the meaning behind Ganesh Visarjan.

Through warm family moments, colourful illustrations and simple storytelling, The Elephant-Headed Hero helps children understand not just who Ganesha is, but why we celebrate him and the meaning behind the traditions they see around them.
