Nice work, Krystal. FYI, Ganesha is not an elephant but God with elephant's head. He is son of Lord Shiva and Parvati. Once his mother went on an errand and asked her husband (Lord Shiva) to keep an eye on him. Ganesha disturbed his father's samadhi (meditation) while playing around. Shiva got angry and cut his head. Later Lord Shiva realized what he had done. Then he went out in jungle and cut the head of first animal he encountered, the elephant and fixed it on the body of his son before his wife was back. His son complained that he looks ugly. Lord Shiva then bestowed a boon on his son that whosoever will remember his son (Ganesha) before starting any work, he will have success in that adventure. People usually say when starting new work that, " let's do the Sri Ganash”.
