India's Ganesh Chaturthi festival: a travel experience. In India’s Vedic prehistory, the son of Shiva and Parvati began his journey toward immortality when his father mistakenly lopped off his head with a sword, and upon realizing his mistake, replaced his son’s head with one of a passing elephant. That son goes by the names of Ganesh and Ganapati.
