Pārvatī (
Sanskrit: पार्वती), sometimes spelled Parvathi or Parvathy, is a
Hindu goddess. Parvati is nominally the second consort of
Shiva, the
Hindu God of destruction and rejuvenation. However, she is not different from
Dakshayani or Satī, being the reincarnation of that former consort of Lord
Shiva. She is also the mother of
Ganesha and
Skanda (Kartikeya).Some communities also believe her to be the sister of Lord
Vishnu and many of the believers of
Shakta philosophy also consider her as the ultimate Divine. In many interpretations of the scriptures, Parvati is also regarded as a representation of
Shakti or
Durga, albeit the gentle aspect of that goddess because she is a mother goddess otherwise known as
Devi .
