Answer 1

When we worship & idol we are in actuality worship an ideal.The idol is symbolic to an ideal.This elephant-headed god with Mooshak (rat) as his vehicle was created by Goddess Parvati from the sandalwood dough. It was she who infused life in Ganesha and asked him to guard at the door while she was in her bath.
When Lord Shiva returned and was stopped by this unknown child Ganesha, Shiva in rage cut off the head of that child.As soon as Parvati got to know about the severing of head of her son, she asked Shiva to bring him to life again.

Shiva then implanted the head of an elephant on Ganesha's body. This re-birth of Ganesha is celebrated as Ganesha Chaturthi.The Ganesha at home , has a unique aspect when compared to any other festivals. We dissolve the idol in water at the end of festival.
Ganesha is the symbolism of wealth.
