✦ Personality Traits
✦ About
Parvati is the gentle goddess of love, fertility, and devotion—the consort of Shiva and mother of Ganesha and Kartikeya. She is the reincarnation of Sati, Shiva's first wife, who was reborn and performed intense austerities to win Shiva's love again.
As Shakti in her gentle form, Parvati represents the nurturing, life-giving aspect of the divine feminine. She is the balance to Shiva's destructive power, the one who can calm his wildness and bring him back from ascetic withdrawal into engaged life.
Her fierce forms include Durga and Kali, showing that the loving mother can become terrible when her children are threatened. Parvati demonstrates that love itself has the power to transform the universe.
✦ Famous Story
When Shiva was lost in meditation, the gods needed him to marry and have children. They sent Kama, god of love, who was burned to ash by Shiva's third eye. But Parvati's devotion and austerities eventually won Shiva's heart, proving that sincere love conquers even divine resistance.
