Lord Ganesha has its own iconography. His face is completely look like an Elephant face at all. With this iconography more mythological stories are there . But Two of them are most familiar ... what I am now going to share with you...
First one -
Going through the Myth when Mahadev and Parvati had gotten their most lovely grand child . Devi Parvati was so pleased and She invited all the Goddess from Swarg or Heaven to bless her grand child. By the time Shani dev (Planet Saturn) was also presented their. But He was reluctant to bless and see the Child as He knows very well that His (Shani Dev) drishti (sight) is not good for anyone. But Devi Parvati was very much aggressive to Shani Dev and whenever He gave his drishti to the head of the Child , the child's head was just fallen down. To see this upshot Parvati started to cried out for Her Son. The god Vishnu came to the rescue and replaced the missing head with that of an elephant.
From then only Lord Ganesha got His unique identity. But there was so many questions arose to see an elephant face to God. To remove this fearfulness all Goddess blessed him and acknowledged Him Bestower of all work accomplishments (Sarba Karjyo Siddhidata Ganesha ).
Other one -
Parvati, the wife of Lord Shiva was alone at home and wanted to have a bath. To guard the entrance, Parvati created a human child - Ganesha - out of the earth and asked him to guard the entrance while she took a bath. While Parvati was bathing, Lord Shiva came to the scene and wanted to enter the house. However Ganesha blocked him from entering saying that it was his mother's orders not to allow anyone inside. Enraged, Lord Shiva cut off Ganesha's head and entered the house. Parvati, upon learning this, was overcome with grief. Upon learning that Ganesha was his own son, Lord Shiva felt sad too. Parvati then asked Lord Shiva to go down the Himalayas (their abode), cut off the head of the first animal he sees and splice it onto the headless body of Ganesha. The first animal Lord Shiva found was an elephant and that is how Lord Ganesha came to have the elephant's head and thus, infinite wisdom.
Every year during Ganesh Chaturthi He is worshipped in most of the houses in India. Again in Bengali New Year (Poila Baisakh)He is revered to each shop and for this reason shopkeeper is opening their New Business Notebook (Haal Khata) ,even distribute sweets to their customers also.
