Parvati, daughter of the Himalaya, is the gentle and devoted form of the great goddess — mother of Ganesha and Kartikeya, and the beloved of Shiva. Where Durga is fierce, Parvati is tender; together they are the same divine feminine.
"She gave up palaces for the cold of the mountains, performing penance until even the great ascetic could not turn away."
Her name means "of the mountains." She represents devotion, patience and the power of love to soften even the most distant heart. A daughter named Parvati carries warmth, strength and quiet determination.
