11th century sculpture from the British Museum. Parvati as a two-armed consort goddess of Shiva (left), and as four-armed Lalita with her sons Ganesha and Skanda, Odisha, India. She is found extensively in ancient Indian literature, and her statues and iconography grace Hindu temples all over South Asia and Southeast Asia. In Hindu temples dedicated to her and Shiva, she is symbolically represented as the argha. She is also well known as Kamarupa (one who give a shape to your desire) and Kameshwari (one who fulfill your all desires). In Shaivism, she is the recreative energy and power of Shiva, and she is the cause of a bond that connects all beings and a means of their spiritual release. Parvati is generally portrayed as a gentle, nurturing mother goddess, but is also associated with several terrible forms to vanquish evil and demons such as Durga, Kali, the ten Mahavidyas and Navadurgas. For Vaishnavites, she is respected as Vishnu Vilasini, or 'she who dwells on Vishnu', as stated in the Mahishasura Mardini Stotram. For Shaivites, she is considered to be the divine energy between a man and a woman, like the energy of Shiva and Shakti. The Puranas also referenced her to be the sister of the river goddess Ganga and the preserver god Vishnu. Parvati is the mother of Hindu deities Ganesha and Kartikeya.

Parvati is the daughter of the mountain king Himavan and queen Mena. She is the reincarnation of Sati, the first wife of Shiva who immolated herself during a yajna (fire-sacrifice). Parvati is the wife of the Hindu god Shiva. Along with Lakshmi and Saraswati, she forms the Tridevi. She is the central deity of the Goddess-oriented sect called Shaktism and the chief goddess in Shaivism. She is also revered in her appearances as Durga and Mahakali. She is a physical representation of Mahadevi in her complete form. Parvati ( Sanskrit: पार्वती, IAST: Pārvatī), Uma ( Sanskrit: उमा, IAST: Umā) or Gauri ( Sanskrit: गौरी, IAST: Gaurī) is the supreme divinity and the Hindu goddess of power, energy, nourishment, harmony, love, beauty, devotion, and motherhood.
