Lord Ganesha and his elder brother, Lord Kartikeya, both found themselves suitable for the post. As a test, Lord Shiva asked them to circle the world thrice, take a bath in holy rivers and return. He said that whoever returns first, i.e., wins the race will be appointed as the head. Upon hearing this, Lord Kartikeya immediately flew away on his peacock.
