Mahādevī

Title given to Shakti, the consort of the Hindu god Shiva. As the Mahadevi Shakti she embodies the divine female energy (shakti) which, combined with the male energy of Shiva, underlies all manifest things. Shiva is incomplete without her power. She can be both generous and destructive, having many manifestations, including the warrior goddesses Kali and Durga and the peaceful Parvati, Saraswati, and Lakshmi.
