She would often collect only bilva leaves and dhatura flowers,which were dear to Shiva, when sent to collect flowers. She also prayed to him when her mother was injured. She prayed to him for saving her the asuras who had come to attack her. Once,she found Shiva's damaru and always kept it with herself.Īfter some more years, Parvati became an ardent devotee of Mahadev. She would collect bilva leaves and also smear herself with bhasma, much to her mother's dismay. Since a very young age, little Parvati was attracted towards things which belonged to Shiva or which He liked. Even though her mother tried to keep her away from Shiva and his followers, it was all in vain. Hence, Parvati lived at Rishi Dadhichi's ashram with her mother for several years. Soon after, her father, King Himavan, had to leave her and her mother at Rishi Dadhichi's ashram in order to fight a war against the Nagas.
She then freed Bahurupa, who was actually an enchanted Apsara named Swarupa, from the curse that she was under, and was then reunited with her parents.
When she was just a baby, she was kidnapped by an Asura named Bahurupa, who had been sent by Tarkasura. Her birthplace was the Balaji Temple, which her parents were visiting. Parvati was born to King Himavan and his wife, Queen Mainavati. This in turn shows that Parvati was not one to hold grudges and could wholeheartedly forgive wrongdoers who had truly repented of their sins, for Daksh (especially) and Prasuti had both played significant roles in Sati's tragic death. She harbours a similar familial affection for Daksh and Prasuti, who were her parents in her previous incarnation (Sati). Parvati was also shown to be a devoted daughter to her parents - she prayed to Mahadev when her mother was injured, and was even ready to forget about Shiva for her mother's sake. Later on, she willingly underwent the most severe penances in order to win Shiva as her husband, and her willpower never once faltered despite the intensity of her trials. Her most commendable traits would be her optimism, her determination, and her patience: when she matured and searched for Mahadev in the Himalayas, she finally found him due to her never giving up her search. Ever since she was a child, she had a true absolute faith in Mahadev - a faith that later blossomed into true love as she matured into an adult. Parvati is intelligent, sensible, and understanding. Parvati is an extremely beautiful young woman, with dark almond-shaped eyes, creamy sun-kissed skin, and a wealth of gorgeous black hair that is usually worn long and flowing and adorned with flowers.Īs a Princess and later a Goddess, she is always dressed richly yet elegantly, in beautiful robes of the finest materials and ornaments of gold and precious jewels.
