Why idol of Mother Annapurna so important for Varanasi?
  • 2 years ago
An ancient 18th-century idol of Mother Annapurna was stolen from Kashi 100 years ago. The idol is being brought back to India from Canada. Kashi is also eagerly waiting for the return of mother Annapurna. It is believed that Mother Parvati is seated in the form of Annapurna in Kashi and she gave alms to Lord Shiva.
