When Lord Shiva came there, Ganesh ji stopped him from going inside, causing Mahadev of the gods to be angry and he beheaded Ganesha. Later, when Parvati ji was unhappy, Shiva revived the child of an elephant by connecting the head of Ganesha to the torso.

Mata Parvati took the gazelle child with her heart. The three gods gave the boon of Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh to declare that child as the best.
