The Mahabharata, a famous ancient Indian epic, is composed by Sage Vyasa. It is believed that he narrated the Mahabharata to the god Ganesha.Initially, they agreed that if Ganesha couldn’t keep up with Vyasa’s fast narration or if Vyasa got stuck while narrating, they would pause. Legend has it that when Ganesha was writing, his pen(ezhuthani)broke, but Vyasa didn’t halt his storytelling. So, Ganesha quickly broke one of his tusks (thandham) and continued writing. That’s why Lord Ganesha is often depicted with a broken tusk.
