Annapurneswari is another form of Goddess Parvathi. She took this form to give alms to her own consort Lord Shiva. She presides over the holy city of Varanasi.

Hey, Mother Annaprneswari,
Who is The Goddess of Kasi,
Who helps others with kindness,
Who makes all days deliriously happy,
Who gives boons and shelter to all,
Who is the epitome of all beauty,
Who cleans up all sorrows from life,
Who is the ever-visible Goddess of the world,
Who is the star of the family of Himavan,
Please give me alms,
Ocean of kindness and compassion.
