Answer in Details
Devi Parvati, who is the consort of Lord Shiva, is traditionally regarded as the daughter of King Himavan (the personification of the Himalayas) and Queen Maina. This is described in various Puranas and Shiva-related scriptures, where Parvati is also referred to as "Haimavati" (daughter of Himavan). Her birth and devotion to Lord Shiva symbolize the union of Shakti (divine feminine energy) and Shiva (pure consciousness).
