Lord Ganesha and Maharishi Veda Vyasa writing the Mahabharata
Description:
Maharishi Veda Vyasa tells the story of the Mahabharata, and Lord Ganesha writes it.
Actually, there is no specific sloka, which could describe that Lord Ganesha helped Veda Vyasa in writing the Mahabharata. However, there are few legends who say that it was Ganesha who helped him in writing. When Vyasa was searching for a writer who could write it, he found Ganesha, the only one who could match his speed. Ganesha agreed on one condition that Vyasa must not pause while he writes. And witty Vyasa also agreed on condition that Ganesha must not write any sloka before fully understanding it. So, thus, whenever Vyasa needed time to think about next slokas, he spoke few complicated sloka that needed time to understand, and he could figure out time to arrange next slokas. And through such hard process, they completed writing the greatest epic and the book of the Mahabharata.
They wrote it in cave. So, here I've portrayed them in the dark cave, where Ganesha is writing with the help of light coming from the lamp.
