Parvati is the dark-colored wife of the god Shiva, and the mother of the deities Ganesha and Skanda.
According to the legend, Parvati was a young girl raised in the Himalayas who did years of intense austerities in order to win Shiva as her husband. She sat down in the forest and swore not to budge until Shiva materialized and asked her to marry him. This was a tall order because Shiva was a widower who had no desire to remarry.
