For this reason Durva is offered
According to a legend, in ancient times there lived a demon named Analasura, whose anger caused chaos in heaven and earth. Analasura was a demon who used to swallow sages and common people alive.
Fed up with the atrocities of this demon, all the gods, goddesses, sages and sages including Indra went to pray to Lord Mahadev and everyone prayed to Mahadev to end the terror of Analasur. Then Mahadev heard the prayers of all the gods and sages and told them that only Lord Ganesha could destroy the demon Analasura.
On everyone’s request, Shri Ganesha swallowed Analasur and he started feeling a burning sensation in his stomach. When the swelling in Lord Ganesha’s stomach did not subside even after taking various measures to deal with the problem, sage Kashyap made 21 lumps of Durva and gave them to Lord Ganesha to eat. Lord Ganesha consumed this Durva and the swelling in his stomach reduced. It is believed that from then onwards the tradition of offering Durva to Lord Ganesha started.
