Annapurna two-armed Trinayani, two-handed food vessel and dervish, He is devoted to Annapradayini and Bhavadukkhantri; According to the mythology, Goddess Parvati was given this name for offering food to the beggar lord Shiva. According to Hindu belief, there is no shortage of food in the house if Annapurna is worshipped. This form of Goddess Parvati is just an image of a typical woman, that is, we see a woman in different roles in her life, Sometimes she is a stupid girl, sometimes she is a love-addicted foolish lover, sometimes she is soft and fickle, sometimes she is a tough woman under pressure, and sometimes she is a bride. Become mother Annapurna, sometimes a full-fledged wife, sometimes a mother, and sometimes a powerful Durga in the danger of the family! Women in ordinary life have many times glorified this ten-point avatar woman. So being a photographer I have merely tried to capture and convey the amazing power of womanhood.
