Parvati
Parvati, consort and really the feminine of Shiva. So close that in some
images they are fused into a single god. The gentle, mother goddess. Usually
depicted simply as a beautiful woman, occasionally with multiple arms, but
more often not. Also known as Annapurna, which is her home in the Himalayas.
