Uma

Uma
   In Vedic myth perhaps the most attractive aspect of Parvati, wife of Siva. She is depicted as of great beauty, and as signifying the life of heavenly wisdom. She was worshipped as a representative of lofty abstract qualities. She was also known as Sati, who sacrificed herself on the pyre to avenge her father’s indignity, but this story is confused with one of Rudra and his wife Ambika.
