Kubera, the God of wealth once decided it was time to showcase his riches to the divine beings. His grand idea? An extravagant feast inviting gods and goddesses from far and wide. Among the elite invitees were the mighty Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati.

Despite their initial reluctance, Kubera's persistent invitations finally swayed the divine couple. However, instead of gracing the event themselves, they chose to send their son, the ever-delightful Lord Ganesha, known for his love of sumptuous feasts.

As Ganesha arrived at Kubera's palace, the air was filled with the aroma of exotic foods. The feast was a testament to Kubera's wealth, with a never-ending array of cuisines and sweets tempting even the gods.

But as Ganesha joyfully indulged in the lavish spread, a curious turn of events unfolded. The food, seemingly limitless, began to dwindle rapidly. Kubera, concerned and embarrassed by the shortage, ordered his cooks to conjure more delicacies. Alas, their efforts were in vain as Ganesha's voracious appetite outpaced their culinary skills.

The once extravagant palace found itself facing a shortage of food items. Panicked, Kubera scoured every nook and cranny in search of more provisions, but his efforts proved futile. The situation escalated when Ganesha, unable to satiate his hunger, began devouring everything in sight – from furniture to utensils.

Fearing for his existence, Kubera raced to Lord Shiva seeking salvation from the feast gone awry. In the divine abode of Mount Kailash, Kubera confessed his folly, acknowledging the consequences of his unchecked pride.

Lord Shiva, embodying love and humility, handed Kubera a handful of roasted rice. With this humble offering, Kubera rushed back to his palace, where Ganesha, in a playful yet menacing manner, threatened to devour even the god of wealth himself.

Presenting Lord Shiva's offering, Kubera watched as Ganesha consumed a handful of roasted rice. Miraculously, Ganesha's insatiable hunger was appeased, leaving a valuable lesson in its wake.

Enlightened by this unexpected twist, Kubera understood the significance of humility. The gods and goddesses, including Lord Shiva and Parvati, witnessed the unfolding drama and the profound lesson learned that day – that even the mightiest could be humbled, and true wealth lay not just in opulence but in the simplicity of heart.
