According to Brahmavaivarta Purana, once Goddess Tulsi was passing by the banks of the Ganges, where Shri Ganesh was doing penance. Seeing Shri Ganesh, Tulsi's mind got attracted towards him. She told Shri Ganesh that 'You become my husband.' Then Shri Ganesh said, 'I am doing penance at this time, do not disturb my penance.'

According to Brahmavaivarta Purana, Mata Parvati had observed a fast named Punyak for getting a son, as a result of this fast, Lord Krishna was received by Mata Parvati as a son. According to Shivamahapurana, the color of Lord Ganesha's body is red and green. He is married to Siddhi and Buddhi, the daughters of Prajapati Vishwaroop.

According to Brahmavaivarta Purana, when all the deities were blessing Shri Ganesh, Shani Dev was also present there. As soon as Shani Dev saw Shri Ganesh, his head got separated from the torso.
