Story of Maa Mahagauri

According to the legend, goddess Parvati did severe penance for years to get Lord Shiva as her husband. Mata Parvati was absorbed in constant penance in the mountains for years without worrying about the sun, cold, and rain, staying fast and being waterless.

Due to being absorbed in severe penance for so many years, her complexion had turned black due to incense, dust, and soil. Pleased with Parvati's penance, Lord Shiva promised to accept her as his wife. Then Shiva bathed Goddess Parvati with holy Gangajal. Goddess Parvati became extremely fair after bathing in the holy water of the Ganges. That is why she is also known as Mahagauri.
