Hmm...
I read that Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati came to fetch their son from the Kritikas. It is known that Karthikeya was not born of Parvati and I am familiar with the legends as to why Lord Shiva's son multiplied himself. Any information on how he was united back into one?
The books I read refer to the birth of Lord Ganesha in a different way - without the involvement of Ganga. I read that Devi Parvati wanting to create someone to protect her privacy, moulded clay/a lump of earth or dirt with her sweat drops and when it took the form of a boy, she gave him life and a duty to guard her chambers.
