Ek Danta Ganesha ~ Destroyer of Dualism
Once Parashurama came to Kailash Parvat (Mount Kailash) to visit Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva was sleeping so Ganesha stopped him from going inside. A fight between them ensued at this. Ganesha caught him with his trunk and hit him on the ground. This left him unconscious for some time. When he came into senses he threw his Pharsaa (axe) at Ganesha. Ganesha immediately recognized it as his father's weapon (his father gave it to Parashurama), and received it with all his humility on his one tusk. This broke his one tusk and left with one tusk only.
That is why he is also called as Ekdant or Ekdanshtra - means who has only one tusk.
There is another story about his one tusk. A different legend narrates that when Ganesha was asked to write down the epic Mahabharata, dictated to him by its author, sage Vyasa, taking into note the enormity and significance of the task, he realized the inadequacy of any ordinary 'pen' to undertake the task. So he broke one of his own tusks and made a pen out of it. The lesson offered here is that no sacrifice is big enough in the pursuit of knowledge.
In the same reference, it is also said that as he was writing Mahabharata, his pen broke, and he broke his one tusk to continue writing.
An ancient Sanskrit drama titled "Shishupaal Vadh", presents a different version. Here it is mentioned that Ganesha was deprived of his tusk by the arrogant Ravana, who removed it forcefully in order to make ivory earrings for the beautiful women of Lanka.

A fine art graduate (BFA - Applied Art, 1984 - 1988, University of Delhi ) from Delhi College of Art, Tilak Marg, New Delhi, I firmly believe that - Simplicity and Originality are Body and Soul of any creative expression. I am obsessed with figurative approach in my paintings, as it gives them power of expression and attraction!
