In Hindu tradition,
Lord Ganesha is a divine power that helps in removing obstacles from the life
of his believer or devotees. Some of the devotees of the lord believe that he
is a bachelor; however as per some of the Hindu cultures, Ganesha is a married
and has two wives.
The story in some of
the mythological book of Hindu culture is very interesting behind his marriage.
It says that, due to the large elephant head of the deity, no single women were
ready to marry Ganesha. Besides him, as all the other gods were having a
companion, which made him angry. Due to this reason he started causing problems
at the time of marriage of other gods.
He used to cause
numbers of problem in the marriages of the gods. After getting fed up of such behavior
of Ganesha, all gods went to Lord Brahma to complain about it and to find a
solution for it. In order to solve the problem of other gods and to please
Ganesha, Lord Brahma created Riddhi and Siddhi, the two most beautiful women
and gave them to Ganesha in marriage. Since, that time onwards it has been
believed that the devotees of Lord Ganesha will also gets the blessings of
Riddhi and Siddhi, wife of Ganesha as well as goddess of wealth and
intellectual respectively.
