Let us know. Are.
Two stories regarding the marriage of Lord Ganesha
Mainly two stories are prevalent regarding the marriage of Lord Ganesha. In one of these stories, there is a description of Tulsi, along with it it is also told why Tulsi Dal is not offered to Lord Ganesha. According to the legend, once Lord Ganesha was doing penance when Tulsi, who was passing by, saw him and she got fascinated by Lord Ganesha. She wanted to marry him. But Lord Ganesha had started following celibacy, so he refused to marry Tulsi. Angered by the rejection of his marriage proposal, Tulsi cursed Lord Ganesha that he would have two marriages. On this Lord Ganesha also cursed Tulsi that she would be married to a demon. It is believed that even after this, offering Tulsi to Lord Ganesha has been considered taboo.
When Gods and Goddesses got upset with Lord Ganesha's habit
According to another legend, due to the body structure of Lord Ganesha, no one wanted to marry him. Troubled by this, he started practicing celibacy. Along with this, he also did not allow anyone else to get married. Whoever was getting married, he used to create disruption in it. His vehicle Mushak also supported him in his work. Due to this habit of his, the Gods and Goddesses started getting very upset.
One day he approached Brahmaji regarding this problem. Hearing the problems of the Gods and Goddesses, Lord Brahma sent his two Manas daughters to Lord Ganesha to get education. Lord Ganesha obeyed the orders of Lord Brahma and started teaching his two daughters. Meanwhile, whenever there was news of any marriage, Riddhi Siddhi would divert the attention of both Lord Ganesha and Mushak Raj, due to which marriages gradually started taking place. But this thing could not be hidden from Lord Ganesha for long. As soon as he came to know about this work of Riddhi Siddhi, he became very angry. He was about to curse Riddhi Siddhi when Brahmaji reached there and suggested Lord Ganesha to marry Riddhi Siddhi. Following Brahmaji's suggestion, Lord Ganesha married Riddhi Siddhi and thus he got married twice.
