The story of Ganesha

This is a Series of illustrations I did For Learning Media NZ. They accompany the story of how the Hindu God Ganesha was born.
The boy Ganesha is formed out of dust by his mother Parvati To guard her door while she bathes.
Parvati's husband Shiva comes home and Ganesha will not let him in to see his wife. Shiva Chops Ganesha's head off
Parvati is angry with Shiva and insists he restore Ganesha. Shiva sends his soldiers out to find Ganesha a new head.


Ganesha gets the head of a baby elephant. Parvarti is not very happy but Ganesha becomes an important and beloved God in his own right.
