• Mythological story of Maa Mahagaur
There are two mythological stories about Mahagauri, the eighth form of Maa Durga. According to the first legend, after being born in the house of the mountain king Himalaya, mother Parvati did severe penance to get Lord Shiva in her husband's form. While doing penance, the mother had been fasting for thousands of years, due to which the body of the mother had turned black.

On the other hand, according to another legend, after killing all the demons in the form of Kalratri, Bholnath teased Goddess Parvati by calling her mother Kali. In order to get her skin agitated, the mother did severe penance for several days and offered Arghya to Brahma ji. Pleased with Goddess Parvati, Brahma ji advised him to take a bath in the Mansarovar river in the Himalayas. Following the advice of Lord Brahma, Mother Parvati took a bath in Mansarovar.
