Ganesh is the Supreme God, the son of Parvati (the mountain) and Shiva (The ascetic God), one of the complex aspects of the divine trinity (Vishnu and Brahma).
Ganesh is only son of Parvati, who created from itself, a clear similarity with the conception of Jesus in Christianity (For one: Shiva gave Parvati all cosmic powers, and to others, Parvati while Devi, is the very "Creatix" of existence, containing in itself all the powers and energies <Kali/Shakti>).
Known for being born twice from two major myths, which focus on the loss of sacrifice for the greater good. The loss of the human head, for some because of his father Shiva, for others because of his uncle Saturn (Shani) lead to subsequent resurrection through replacement of a head of a young elephant (with the help of his uncle Vishnu - the god of preservation).

(Myth: "When Lord Shiva's son Ganesha was born, his mother Parvati wanted to
show the boy to Saturn. Saturn advised her not to, however she
insisted and Saturn gazed upon the child with one eye. Instantly
Ganesha's head was burnt to ashes. To prevent Parvati's anger from
destroying the universe, Lord Vishnu, cut the head off a bull elephant
he had found, and joined it successfully to Ganesha's body. This is
why Lord Ganesha has the head of an elephant!")
