Where did the real head of Lord Ganesha go after it was cut off?

You must have also heard and read the mythological stories related to Shri Ganesh becoming Gajanan. But do you know or have you thought that after Ganesha’s head was cut off, Gajmukh was installed in its place, but where did his real head go?

According to one incident, Mother Parvati created the form of Lord Ganesha from the dirt of her body and ordered Ganesha to guard the door and prevent anyone from entering until he took bath.Meanwhile, when Lord Shankar stopped Lord Shankar from going inside, then unknowingly Lord Shankar cut off the head of Lord Shankar, who went to the moon world. Later, Lord Shankar added Gajmukh or elephant head in place of the severed head to appease the angry Parvati.

There is a belief that the real head of Lord Ganesha is in the moon, due to this belief, in religious traditions, on the date of Sankat Chaturthi, by offering moon darshan and arghya, the worship and devotion of Lord Ganesha prays for the end of all troubles and prosperity.
