Origin of Mother Annapurna – Story of Mother Annapurna

Once the water and food started running out on the earth, the troubled people started praising Lord Brahma and Vishnu to get rid of the trouble. Knowing the troubles of the people, Brahma and Vishnu worshipped Lord Shiva and woke him up with yoga posture and informed him about the whole matter. After this Lord Shiva toured the earth. After this Mata Parvati took the form of Annapurna and Lord Shiva took the form of a monk. After this Lord Shiva took alms from Mother Annapurna and distributed it among the people of the earth. For this reason, Mata Annapurna is worshipped on this day.


Mata Annapurna Devi is the goddess of food. The kitchen should be kept clean on this day. After this, the house should be purified by sprinkling Ganga water and worshipping the stove of the house. Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva should be worshipped on the day of Annapurna Jayanti. There is never a shortage of food and water in the house by worshipping Mother Annapurna.
