This story I read it in a Kannada newspaper . I found it funny yet relatable to present day situations . I thought I will recreate in my own words .
We know the thrimurthies in Hinduism . They all are married .
They are -----
God Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi
God Brahma and Goddess Saraswati
God Shiva and Goddess Parvati
Once , all the 3 goddesses met together and they were sharing their happiness and sorrows .
Goddess Lakshmi said , " I have a big house in Vaikuntha . 2 door keepers ( Jaya and Vijaya ) are guarding our house . Milk sea itself is our house ."
Goddess Saraswati also described her house , how big it is . Now it is the turn of Goddess Parvati . But she don't own a proper house like everyone else . She and God Shiva live under a tree .
She couldn't say anything . Insulted as she was , she returned to Kailash . She saw her husband , God Shiva meditating .
She got angry on her husband . She said how much she was got insulted while chitchatting with her sisters . Later she pressurised her husband to do something on that matter .
No husband can say NO to his wife's demands . Likewise , God Shiva called the architect Vishwakarma and asked him to build a large , beautiful house for him .
Vishwakarma agreed and accordingly built the house . Now Parvati is very happy . Now she is planning to organize a lavish house warming ceremony and busy in calling the other fellow gods .
Everything was planned . God Shiva decided to call demon king as well as a great brahmin Ravana to grace the occasion as a purohit .
Ravana agreed . Function was a huge success . Everyone was surprised to see the beauty of the newly created house .
God Shiva and Goddess Parvati were very happy . God Shiva decided to honour purohith Ravana according to his wish . God Shiva asked Ravana to ask anything as a reward .
Ravana politely refused the offer . But God Shiva insisted . Then Ravana asked the newly constructed house of God Shiva itself as the reward !!!
Without thinking , God Shiva said Thasthastu meaning yes . Next second itself , the Devine couple God Shiva and Goddess Parvati were standing under the tree !!!!!
