Annapoorna Devi is the Hindu Goddess of nourishment. In Sanskrit 'Anna' means food and 'purna' means complete; together the term Annapurna signifies nourishing with food to the fullest. Annapoorna Devi is depicted as holding a golden ladle adorned with many kinds of jewels in her right hand and a vessel full of delicious porridge in her left hand. She is an incarnation of the Hindu Goddess Parvati, wife of Lord Shiva. At Hindu households if people waste food, it is said that they in turn make Annapurna Devi angry.
Annapurna is also referred to as the goddess of fertility and agriculture which calls for immense popularity of this deity in the villages of India. Goddess Annapurna is also reasonably popular in South India with separate shrines dedicated to this deity of food and harvest.
