After many years of penance, Mata Parvati, because of the dust, dirt,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0and Sun\u2019s heat, became dark and dusky. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">However, she was so immersed in penance and her devotion to please Lord Shiva that she did not even notice these discomforts.
