Devi Mahagauri Katha
According to one of the legends associated with this avatar of Maa Durga,?Mahagauri?performed intense penance to please Lord Shiva and seek his blessings. She wanted to marry Mahadev, and, hence, performed austerities for years. In the end, she succeeded in winning his heart and the boon of becoming his Ardhangini. Since she faced hardships while performing the penance, her body got covered with layers of dirt. And it was Lord Shiva who poured water on her to cleanse her. Soon after taking a bath, Mahagauri?started glowing. Hence, the name?Mahagauri.

Maha Gauri Daya Keeje, Jag Janani Daya Keeje,

Pragati Himachal Ke Ghar, Ban Shiv Parvati.
