This is what another website had to say about the godess:

"Parvati is the wife of Lord Shiva and exists in various divine (both friendly and fearful) forms, including Kali and Durga. A mountain goddess. Parvati is also the mother of the beloved deity, Ganesh, the potbellied god with the head of an elephant and Kartekeya, the god of war."
