Ashok
Sundari is a Hindu goddess the daughter of Lord Shiva & Parvati.She
is very rarely known as she is not mentioned nor in Vedas & neither
in Puranas. She is mainly known in Gujarati folktales & is created
when Parvati makes Ganesha. It is said that when Lord Shiva kills
Ganesha, Ashok Sundari hides behind bags of salt because she is
frightened by her father. When Parvati finds out that her son is dead,
she curses Ashok Sundari to melt in salt. However, after cooling down
she blesses Ashok Sundari to be reborn in a rich family.
Her
name can be split : Ashok means 'without sorrow' (Parvati created
Ganesha & Ashok sundari to get rid of her sorrow of missing Mahadev
& Kartikeya) & Sundari means 'beautiful girl'. Devon ke Dev ...
Mahadev revealed Ashok Sundari to people.
