How does Ganesh become God?

                           How does Ganesh become God?

In ancient times, there was a demon named Sindhurasur. He was troublesome and always giving trouble to people. People were fed up of him.
All went near Ganesh and told him their problem. Ganesh assured them that he will kill the demon. Likewise, he went near castle of demon. Demon's guards saw Ganesh coming on mouse.
Ganesh was a little boy then. Sindhurasur started to laugh after seeing Ganesh. He thought a small boy like Ganesh cant defeat him in battle.
Ganesh called demon for battle. Sindhurasur readily agreed. But in battle ground, as demon was watching, Ganesh grew to 4 times his original size.
Ganesh killed the demon. As name itself said, after killing Sindhurasur Ganesh became red.  At that time, saints worshipped him and offered him special type of grass called Doorva. With that, Ganesh's anger got less and he became normal again.
Till now, people worship Ganesh with Doorva.
