In the state of Kerala, in temples Goddess Parvati is given more importance than God Shiva .
This story tells the reason .
It was the time of God Shiva and Goddess Parvati wedding .
Goddess Parvati had born as the daughter of King of hills, Parvata Raja.
She had done hard penance so that she can get married to God Shiva .
Now the marriage is fixed and according to Hindu tradition , marriages has to be arranged in bride's home .
Like wise , God Shiva along with his family started his journey from Kailash .
God Shiva's family is too big . His family consists of all the Shiva ganas , all the devas , apsaras , yakshas , kinnaras etc .
All of them are coming to earth for the marriage .
Mother Earth could not bear the weight of all of them. She was exhausted.
Looking at her condition , Goddess Parvati felt bad and had given her more strength .
To show the gratitude , in some temples Goddess Parvati is given first importance .
