In most Ganesha idols, the left stem of the Lord is broken. There are a lot of stories for this broken catch.
The story in the Emmanuel Purana goes like this:
Parasurama
has defeated the last of his enemies and made a victory cry. He had
just made a war against Kartivirya Arjuna and the entire army of the
arrogant king. and Parasurama had won. The passionate revenge that had
consumed him, since he Jamadgni his father, lay dead in the mud with 21
scars all over his body, seemed to slow down damping... Parasurama
looked about him wearily when he saw the massacre that surrounded him
and realized that none of his enemies were standing.
Parasurama
fell on the ground, felt the tired bone as he looked at the axe in his
hands. It was called Parasurama-that meant Rama with the axe. Parasurama
regarded this axe as the gift of himself Lord Shiva, who was also his
master in martial arts and the arts of war. If something else was Lord
Shiva... Parasurama realized that he owed all his victory to the Lord of
the three eyes.
Parasurama
did not even blink as he stood on the battlefield and headed for Mount
Kana, the image of Lord Shiva, almost drawn him as a magnet and the
fatigue he felt did not disappear.
Very
soon, the sage was on the outskirts of Kana and was surprised when he
found Ganesha, the son of Lord Shiva and on the other side of the door.
Sage Parasurama wanted to enter the house when Ganesha stopped the man.
"You cannot enter now!" Ganesha said abruptly.
"Why?" Parasurama asked to feel completely confused.
"My parents are asleep." I don't want you to be disturbed now. Ganesha said.
Parasurama
looked at Ganesha, a small seed of rage that builds. "I am the follower
of Lord Shiva and his disciple." I should be allowed to visit him at
any time. "he said quietly."
"No!"
he said. Ganesha said with the same calmness and as a warrior would
know another, Parasurama knew that Ganesha had nothing in.... would
leave No.
"Let me in or I attack!" Parasurama said so quietly that Ganesha barely heard him. But Ganesha doesn't need to hear it.
Ganesha pulled his pistol by looking at Parasurama. Not! I won't let you in. Ganesha repeated.
And the two men were fighting.
The
two men matched each other, blade-blade, gun weapon. But Ganesha seemed
to win. Ganesha was more in control of himself and could fight wisely
and observe the technique of combating Parasurama.
Parasurama
was furious and more and more furious. I was reckless and I could not
believe I lost. In anger and despair, Parasurama, threw his axe on
Ganesha.
For
a second, Ganesha stood still. It took Ganesha less than the time for
the gun to let Parasurama hands realize that the axe was something that
Parasurama had used in Lord Shiva himself. (There are two versions on
how Parasurama got the ax-according to a version, Lord Shiva defied
Parasurama to a fight and Parasurama was able to hurt Shiva with the ax
and the second version was that Lord Shiva presented the ax to
Parasurama (because of Parasurama feats) Extraordinary fights
Ganesha realized that if he stopped the gun, it would mean disrespectful to his own father.
Ganesha closed his eyes as he concentrated on the weapon.
The
axe moved to Ganesha and cut the elephant god Tusk, while she landed on
the ground with a loud din, waking up all around the world.
This awakened Lord Shiva and the goddess,
The Goddess left the house first and all he saw was an axe with the catch of his son lying on the floor.
Parasurama
was surprised when he saw the beautiful goddess, she metamorphosed in
front of her own eyes. The eyes of the goddess, who were generally
affectionate and peaceful, changed. And standing before Parasurama was
one of the most dangerous warriors, Parasurama had ever seen-the goddess
Durga, the warrior goddess.
"You
have hurt my son!" The goddess struck him in anger by relying on him,
bringing the weapon into a far-reaching ark, while Parasurama watched
the affected goddess, words that were completely absent. "For that I
will cut my arms!" said the goddess viciously, pulling at her arms.
"Mother!"
Ganesha shouted, trying to bring his mother to see the reason. "It was a
fight, and I was the one who left..." The words of Ganesha were
meaningless.
The goddess Durga burned with rage and was not in the mood to hear anyone.
"Shiva said abruptly, trying to direct the attention of the goddess." "Please, look at Parasurama for what it is."
For
a great second Durga saw Shiva, then turned to Parasurama still
furiously. Breathe deeply to control the goddess, turned to Shiva.
"Parasurama is my pupil, and he is also like your son." Shiva said quietly. "See him as his son and forgive him." Shiva said.
He turned to Parasurama and then slowly, almost unnoticed, Parasurama sigh in relief, as the goddess changed in his normal form.
Parasurama realized that he owes his master of his life... Ganesha.
Parasurama
looked at Ganesha and realized what made the elephant so special to
God. He was out of respect for his father that Ganesha had lost his
catch to the axe, but Ganesha had still asked his mother to save the
life of the Parasurama.
Parasurama Bent to the elephant led God with greatest devotion.
Ganesha watched the wise warrior with a smile when Parasurama gave him his beloved axe.
"It's up to you, my lord." Forgive me! Parasurama said, like Ganesha Ri.
The
other story for the loss of Ganesha Fang is the Mahabharatha who take
the same Ganesha's defense to write the Mahabharatha, because it was the
ballpoint pen that Ganesha found at the speed at which Veda Vyasa said
the Mahabharatha .
There is also another story about the broken catch:
Ganesha
was very happy. His followers had given him a lot of candy and he had
as much as he could and was filled with quieter lots of candy when he
went home.
Of course, Ganesha was traveling in his vehicle-the mouse, and both ran along, back home.
When they walked through a dense forest that was celebrated in the moonlight, a huge snake came out of nowhere.
Of course, the Ganesha mouse trembled and ran from there.
Ganesha
didn't even have time to soothe his pet as he fell on the floor, and
the candies he wore divided and scattered all over the floor. But
Ganesha had a bigger problem. When Ganesha had fallen, his stomach was
pierced.
Ganesha quickly pulled the snake out of a hand and tied it like a leash around the stomach to avoid further damage.
But Ganesha's mishap was something that was not fully observed.
The
God of the moon-Chandra Deva saw this and unable to stop, he laughed.
In anger, Ganesha drew his fang and threw him to the moon god, breaking
the moon into several pieces. Chandra Deva was surprised, but Ganesha
has not been done yet. "You will always be dark!" The young Ganesha
cursed God of the moon.
Finally,
with the intervention of Lord Shiva, Ganesha agreed to change the curse
and so came the fifteen days of the crescent moon and the fifteen days
of the deforming moon.
And as Ganesha tore his Fang and threw him to the moon,
It is one of the reasons why Ganesha has only one catch.
