Daughter of Mountains, She Who Bends the Bow

Parvati is a hindu Goddess of love, fertility and devotion. She is a gentle aspect of the goddess Shakti and with Lakshmi and Saraswati forms a holy trinity of Hindu Goddesses. Parvati is the wife of Shiva, and represents his creative energy and holds together the bonds between all creatures and is responsible also for the release of those bonds. She is beautiful, kind, fair and considered a benevolent deity. She is supportive and motherly, and symbolizes regeneration. She is a voice of encouragement and strength and destroyer of evil. She is protective and giving, but also works to dole out retribution and justice.

Parvati's shade is a deep, red-toned violet representing her nobility and harmony. Violet is also the colour of devotion and selfless love, which represents Parvati's devotion to motherhood. The red undertones speak to her creative energy and warmth.
