The River Ganges or Gaṅgā - IX
Myths and Legends of Gaṅgā - Gaṅgā As the Wife of Śiva
Gaṅgā as the wife of Śiva
Gaṅgā is as the mother of Ganeśa and the foster-mother of Kārtikkeya and hence is also known as the spouse of Lord Śiva. Gaṅgā's residence in the matted locks of Śiva further gives her the place as the second wife of Śiva besides Umā, who happens to be Gaṅgā's sister, as they both are daughters of King Himāvan. Thus, in the Skaṅda Purāṅa, Śiva is married to both the sisters, Gaṅgā and Umā.
