The History of the Lord GANESHA and the Moon!!! One day Sri Ganesha was invited to a party. Very fond of sweets, he began to eat a lot of sweets. Then, when he returned home he found that his belly had grown very big. To conceal that, he quickly tied his belly with a snake. But the Moon which had seen this, burst into hilarious laughter. Ganesha, who was piqued, pronounced a curse against the Moon, which at once was doomed to invisibility from the scene. The Moon was very much confused and asked for forgiveness for his atrocious behavior. Sri

Ganesha regretted his impromptu reaction and relaxed his curse so that only once in a month the Moon would disappear. This was how Amavaa sai came into being as per the myth.
