Its name comes from the Sanskrit, anna, which means "food" or "grain", and purna, which means "perfect" or "full". She is the symbol of nurturing care, caring for both physical nourishment and soul nourishment. It also symbolizes prosperity, charity and providence. Annapurna is considered an avatar of Shiva's wife, Parvati, and Hindu images often show Shiva with a bowl asking her to give the food that provides shakti energy that leads to knowledge and enlightenment. In Hinduism, the Annapurna is a very popular deity and holds a special place because food is considered sacred. Hindus believe that when the Annapurna blesses food, it is transformed into amrita, a Sanskrit word meaning "the nectar of immortality". Without adequate nourishment, one lacks physical health and therefore cannot attain spiritual health. Those who cook are considered to provide energy that fuels the spiritual journey. Annapurna is the goddess of the Indian city of Varanasi (Kashi), where there are two of the few temples dedicated to her, the most important of which is the Annapurna Devi Mandir temple.
