discover goddess parvati

Goddess Parvati is the Hindu goddess of love, fertility, devotion, and divine power. She is the consort of Lord Shiva and the mother of Ganesha and Kartikeya. As a manifestation of Adi Shakti (primordial cosmic energy), Parvati represents the nurturing, life-giving aspect of the divine feminine.

Her name means "daughter of the mountain" — she is the daughter of Himavan, king of the mountains. Parvati's story of winning Shiva's heart through devotion and meditation is one of the most beautiful love stories in Hindu mythology.

Parvati is the divine mother figure in Hinduism, and children naturally connect with her warmth and protectiveness. Her stories as Ganesha's mother — from creating him to fiercely defending him — show the depth of a mother's love in ways children understand.

In "The Marvelous Hindu Deities," Parvati is illustrated with gentle, nurturing energy. Children see her as a loving presence who balances Shiva's intensity with compassion and grace.
