Another legend is associated with Shiva and Parvati. Parvati, the Himalayan daughter, wanted her to be married to Lord Shiva, but Shiva was absorbed in her penance. Kamdev came to the aid of Parvati and he fired his flower arrow. The penance of Lord Shiva got dissolved. Shiva got very angry and opened his third eye. Kamdev was consumed in the flame of his anger. Then Shiva saw Parvati and the worship of Parvati was successful. Shivji accepted her as his ardhangini.Thus on the basis of this legend, celebrating the victory of true love by symbolically burning the sensual attraction in the fire of Holi.The month of Sawan brings many festivals related to Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati. The month of Sawan is very dear to Shiva, in the same month comes the Hariyali Teej related to Mata Parvati and also the festival of Nag Panchami related to her beloved Nag.
