Even as a young girl Parvati was in love with Lord Shiva. As she grew older, Parvati blossomed into a stunning woman filled with grace and beauty. While she captured the hearts of many kings and princes, she only had eyes for Shiva.
Shiva and Parvati were married in great pomp and celebration. Ever since then, Parvati and Shiva lived together in conjugal harmony, known to all as the perfect couple.
