Story of Mother Siddhidatri
According to legend, when all the gods became distressed by the atrocities of Mahishasura, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva created Goddess Siddhidatri from their own radiance. It is also believed that Lord Shiva performed rigorous meditation on Goddess Siddhidatri, which earned him eight siddhis (spirits) from the Goddess, including Anima, Mahima, and Garima. After this, half of Lord Shiva's body became the Goddess's, and he was known as Ardhanarishvara.
