Origin & Story

Traditional Hindi devotional literature (Shakta–Shaiva tradition) · Traditional (anonymous) · Modern devotional period

The Parvati Chalisa is a popular forty-verse Hindi hymn in praise of Parvati, the Mountain-Goddess. Drawing on the Puranas and the Shiva–Parvati cycle (notably the Shiva Purana and Kalidasa's Kumarasambhava), it celebrates her birth as Himalaya's daughter, her legendary penance to win Shiva, and her forms as Gauri, Uma, Kali and Annapurna. It is widely recited by devotees of the Divine Mother and by those seeking marital and domestic happiness.

✦ As told in scripture

Tradition holds that Parvati's penance was so intense that the sages who came to test her resolve could not move her from it, and the gods themselves came to grant her boon. Devotees believe that sincere recitation of this chalisa, like Parvati's own devotion, removes obstacles to marriage, restores harmony between estranged couples, and brings the protective grace of the Divine Mother to the household.

|| Doha || Jaya Giri Tanaye Dakshaje, Shambhu Priye Gunakhani. Ganapati Janani Parvati, Ambe! Shakti! Bhavani.

Meaning:Victory to Parvati, daughter of the mountain, born of Daksha, beloved of Shambhu, a treasure of virtues; mother of Ganapati, O Amba, O Shakti, O Bhavani! Even Brahma cannot fathom your mystery; the five-faced Shiva ever meditates on you, the six-faced Kartikeya cannot fully sing your praise, and the thousand-tongued Shesha labours in vain to describe you.

|| Chaupai || Brahma Bheda Na Tumharo Pave. Panchabadana Nita Tumako Dhyave. Shadmukha Kahi Na Sakata Yasha Tero. Sahasabadana Shrama Karata Ghanero.

Meaning:The chalisa lovingly describes the Goddess's beauty — her coral lips, dark beautiful eyes, saffron-marked forehead, golden garments and jewelled throne worshipped by Indra and all beings. It tells how, through her ancient merit, she won Shiva, the lord of the three worlds, as her husband, though he rides an old bull, dwells in cremation grounds and wears serpents as ornaments. It recounts how Shiva drank the halahala poison to save the gods and became Nilakantha, and how Parvati, as his consort, destroys sins and bestows auspiciousness. It names her Gauri, Uma, Shankari, Kali and Annapurna, the sustainer of the world, and narrates her severe penance — taking no food, water or air until only bones remained — by which she won the name Uma and the boon of Shiva as husband. Whoever recites this chalisa, the Lord grants them wealth, progeny and happiness; O Parvati, remain ever the boon-giver to your devotees.

Parvati is the daughter of Himavan (the Himalaya mountain), the consort of Lord Shiva, and the mother of Ganesha and Kartikeya. She is the gentle form of the Divine Mother (Shakti) and is also known as Gauri, Uma, Bhavani and Annapurna.

The chalisa recounts how Parvati undertook extreme austerity — giving up food, water and even air until only her bones remained — to win Lord Shiva as her husband. When the sages tried to dissuade her she refused, and she received the name 'Uma'. Pleased, the gods granted her the boon of marrying Shiva.

It is especially recited on Mondays and Fridays, during Navratri, and on vows like Teej and Hartalika that are observed for marital harmony and the well-being of one's spouse and family.

The closing verses promise that whoever recites it is granted wealth, family and happiness by the Lord. Devotees seek marital harmony, a good life-partner, progeny, domestic well-being and the Goddess's protective grace.
