The sacred Matsya Purana narrates the legend of Shiva’s playful conversation with his beloved Parvati and the emergence of the dark-skinned form of Uma, known as Kaushiki. As Devi Parvati embraced Shiva, Mahadeva lightheartedly called her a Bhujangi or dark, female serpent, wrapped around a sandalwood tree. Enraged, Devi Parvati went deep into penance, to attain a glimmering, Gaura (light-toned) skin. Upon completion of her Tapasya, her form split into two, with the outer skin or Koshas taking the roopa of a dark-skinned Kaushiki and the inner form becoming Gauri.
The mystically dark tone of this brass statue reminds one of the Kaushiki aspect of Parvati. With her towering Jatamukuta, ornaments, and a sublime expression on her exquisite countenance, Devi Parvati mirrors the roopa of Mahadeva. Gazing downwardly and smiling inwardly, goddess Uma Parvati in this statue is the perfection of divine femineity.
