and was the mother of Ganesha and another<br />

<strong>Hindu</strong> god <strong>called</strong> Murugan. It was Parvati<br />

who made Ganesha out of soap when she<br />

was feeling lonely.


Ganesha<br />

Ganesha was the son of <strong>Shiva</strong> and Parvati.<br />

<strong>He</strong> has the head of an elephant. Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong><br />
