Ganesh has been represented with the head of an elephant since the early stages of his appearance in Indian art. Ganesh One of his popular images (called Heramba-Ganesh) has five elephant heads, and other less-common variations in the number of heads are known. Ganesh While some texts say that Ganesh was born with an elephant head, in most stories he acquires the head later.

Vedic and epic literature

 

Puranic period
Stories about Ganesh often occur in the Ganesh corpus. Brown notes while the Puranas "defy precise chronological ordering", the more detailed narratives of Ganesh's life are in the late texts, circa 600- 1300 AD Ganesh Yuvraj Krishan says that the Puranic myths about the birth of Ganesh and how he came to acquire an elephant's head are to be found in the later Puranas composed from about 600 AD onwards, and that references to Ganesh in the earlier Puranas such as the Vayu and Brahmanda Puranas, are considered to be later interpolations made during the 7th to 10th centuries AD. Ganesh
In his survey of Ganesh's rise to prominence in Sanskrit literature Ludo Rocher notes that:
Above all, one cannot help being struck by the fact that the numerous stories surrounding Gaṇeśa concentrate on an unexpectedly limited number of incidents. These incidents are mainly three: his birth and parenthood, his elephant head, and his single tusk. Other incidents are touched on in the texts, but to a far lesser extent Ganesh
Ganesh's rise to prominence was codified in the 9th century AD when he was formally included as one of the five primary deities of Ganesh The "worship of the five forms" (pañcāyatana pūjā) system, which was popularized by the ninth-century philosopher Ganesh among orthodox Brahmins of the Ganesh tradition, invokes the five deities Ganesh, Vishnu, Shiva, Devī, and Sūrya. Ganesh Ganesh It was instituted by Śaṅkarācārya primarily to unite the principal deities of the five major sects (Gāṇapatya, Śaiva, Vaiṣṇava, and Sūrya) on an equal status. This formalized the role of Ganesh as a complementary deity. The monistic philosophy preached by Śaṅkarācārya made it possible to choose one of these as a preferred principal deity and at the same time worship the other four deities as different forms of the same all-pervading Ganesh
