Is lord ganesha alive?
Yes, a story about how he got his elephant head would be great.
It is said that Lord Ganesha was created by Goddess Parvati, who molded him from the dirt of her body. One day, she instructed him to stand guard whilst she went to take a bath. As Lord Shiva, Parvati's husband, returned home, Ganesha, unaware of his identity, refused to allow him entry. This angered Lord Shiva, and he cut off Ganesha's head. Upon realizing her son's fate, Parvati was inconsolable. Seeing her anguish, Lord Shiva instructed his followers to find the head of the first living being they came across lying with its head pointing north. The followers returned with the head of an elephant, which Lord Shiva placed upon Ganesha's body, bringing him back to life.
