The story of Parvati’s yearning to be a mother and creation of Ganesh is one of the most popular mythological lore in Hinduism. Parvati is the divine mother, a form of the great mother goddess that is devoted to the nourishment and protection of her children. The transcendental love of Parvati finds a relatable visualization in the context of her two children- Ganesh and Kartikeya, similar to the Swamimalai bronze statue on this page.
A baby Kartikeya rests on her mother’s waist while baby Ganesh holds her hand, standing upright with her support. Ma Parvati wears her hair in a jatamukut and is decked with jeweled ornaments. Her infant kids raise their tiny hands in Abhaya mudra, hinting at their godly status even when they are mere babies. Focusing solely on her role as their guardian, Parvati in this pleasing bronze is a divine picture of maternity.
