In Hinduism, Parvati (alt. spellings:
Paarvati, Parvatti) is an alternate form of Shakti.
She is named Paarvati as a Sanskrit convention, to be understood as 'the daughter of the mountain' - Parvata.
She is married to Shiva, the Hindu God of Destruction. Shiva and Parvati are the parents of Karttikeya and Ganesha, the elephant-headed god of wisdom.
