According to the story of Santoshi Mata related to the birth, once upon a time when Lord Ganesha was getting the Raksha Sutra tied by his aunt, his son was watching this scene. On this, he wanted to know about this ritual of tying the Raksha Sutra.

Listening to his sons, Ganeshji said that this is not just a thread but a protective thread, a protective thread in the form of a protective shield. Which is a symbol of love and blessings between brother and sister. Hearing these words from their father, both brothers Shubh and Labh sat down insisting on one sister.

Both of them said that if it is so then we also want a sister. To fulfill the stubbornness of both, Lord Ganesha created a light with his supernatural powers and merged it with the soul power of his two wives Riddhi and Siddhi. After adding soul power, that light took the form of a girl. In this way, the daughter of Lord Ganesha was born. Ganesh ji named his daughter Santoshi.
