Kushmanda Mata Ki Katha (Story)
According to Durga Saptshati, Goddess Durga, the supreme goddess of power or Adi-Parashakti, appeared in the form of Siddhidatri from the left side of Lord Shiva’s body. After taking the form of Siddhidariti, Goddess Parvati started to live inside the core of the sun and, hence, came to be known as Kushmanda Devi. Kushmanda Devi became the only goddess who resides in the core of the sun, from where she controls the entire solar system.
