... Beautiful bronze sculpture from the 12thC... a treasure of the past... according to Hinduism and Hindu mythology, Parvati is considered to be a mother goddess by many people... Parvati is a word in the Sanskrit language that means "daughter of the mountain"... Hindu teachings call Parvati the daughter of the Himalayas Mountains, where she is said to live... Goddess Parvati represents love, devotion and fertility... she is the mother goddess and is nurturing and gentle... but she has other aspects which are depicted in her many other names... Thanks Ravindra! Nice to hear from you! (✿ ♥‿♥)
