As indicated by the Ganesha Purana, Ganesha embodied as Mayuresvara(Mayūreśvara), who has six arms and a white appearance. His mount is a peacock. He was destined to Shiva and Parvati in the Treta yuga, to execute the devil, Sindhu. 

Sindhu was the child of Chakrapani – the ruler of Mithila and his significant other Ugrā. Ugrā imagined because of the intensity of a sun-based mantra, however couldn't bear the extraordinary warmth emanating from the baby, so she surrendered it in the sea. Before long, a child was conceived from this surrendered embryo and the sea returned him to his lamenting dad, who named him Sindhu – the sea. 

The caverns of Lenyadri, where the Mayuresvara type of Ganesha is accepted to have been conceived 

Parvati went through severities ruminating over Ganesha – "the supporter of the whole universe" – for a long time at Lenyadri (another Ashtavinayak site, where Ganesha is adored as the child of Parvati). Satisfied by her compensation, Ganesha favored her by the aid that he would be conceived as her child. At the appointed time, Ganesha was destined to Parvati at Lenyadri and named as Ganesha by Shiva. Little Ganesha once thumped an egg from a mango tree, from which developed a peacock. Ganesha mounted the peacock and accepted the name of Mayuresvara. 

Sindhu was given the ever-full bowl of amrita (a mixture of life) as a shelter from the Sun-god. The evil presence was cautioned that he could drink from the bowl as long as it was unblemished. So to secure the bowl, he gulped it. Sindhu threatened the three universes, so the divine beings approached Ganesha for help. Ganesha crushed Sindhu's military, cut his general Kamalasura into three pieces and afterward cut open Sindhu's body, discharging the amrita bowl and accordingly murdering the evil presence. The maker god Brahma is depicted as having manufactured the Morgaon altar, and wedding Siddhi and Buddhi to Ganesha. Toward the finish of this manifestation, Ganesha got back to his heavenly homestead, giving his peacock mount to his more youthful sibling Skanda, with whom the peacock mount is by and large related. 

Since Ganesha rode a peacock (in Sanskrit, a mayura, in Marathi – mora), he is known as Mayureshwar or Moreshwar ("Lord of the peacock"). Another legend says that this spot was populated by peacocks giving the town its Marathi name, Morgaon ("Village of peacocks"), and its managing divinity the name Moreshwar. 

A Ganapatya legend reviews how the maker god Brahma, the preserver-god Vishnu and the dissolver-god Shiva, the Divine Mother Devi, and the Sun-god Surya intervened at Morgaon to find out about their maker and their motivation of presence. Ganesha developed before them in type of an Omkara fire and favored them. Another legend records that when Brahma made his child Kama (want), he turned into a casualty of want and craved for his own girl Sarasvati (Goddess of learning). Upon summon by the entirety of the divinities, the hallowed Turiya Tirtha stream showed up and Brahma washed in her waters to purge his transgression of inbreeding. Brahma at that point came to Morgaon to revere Ganesha, conveying water from the waterway in his water pot. Entering the Ganesha holy place, Brahma bumbled and water tumbled from the pot. At the point when Brahma attempted to get it, it was transformed into the holy Karha stream, that actually streams at Morgaon.
