Why does the Moon disappear and return every month? Ancient Indian mythology has a fascinating answer. 👇 After a grand feast, Ganesha was travelling home with his belly full of modaks. Suddenly, Mushaka stumbled. Ganesha fell. The modaks rolled everywhere. And from the sky… Chandra laughed. 🌕 Ganesha looked up. His eyes became fierce. He cursed Chandra: “May your radiance disappear.” And just like that… 🌕 → 🌑 The Moon lost its brilliance. Chandra realized his arrogance and came down to seek forgiveness. Ganesha finally forgave him—but changed the curse. The Moon would return… slowly… cycle after cycle. #Ganesha #GanpatiBappaMorya #Chandra #Moon #hindumythology
