GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Parvati is the wife of the Hindu deity Shiva. She is a daughter of the Himalayas, who is also called Uma, “the shining one.” Shiva and Parvati are often shown as a loving couple embracing each other. Their children, Ganesha, the elephant-headed god, and Skanda, a great warrior, often appear with the couple. Parvati has no major cult of her own, but under different names and personalities, she is worshipped as the Great Goddess, Devi.
