In contemporary culture
In the Mobile Game 'Boom Shiva', Parvati is depicted as Mother Earth. After Shiva's vessel crashes into Earth and almost destroys it, he sets out to help Mother Earth(Parvati) heal. During the process of this healing, Shiva falls in love with Parvati(Mother Earth), and together they create the first man and woman, in their image. Later in the game, Parvati(Mother Earth) takes on the form of Goddess Kali and brings down her rage on the Human Beings of the 21st Century for almost destroying Mother Earth and all other living things. Shiva is the one who calms Kali and returns her to the form of Parvati and asks her to give the humans another chance, promising to manifest each human and bring out their pure and empathetic side.

Change: "Parvati is the wife of the Hindu god Shiva"
To: "Shiva is the equal complementary partner of Parvati" Akashiac ( talk) 21:36, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
She has many names like Kalika, Tara, Durga but there only 5 or 6 . Agnik Maji ( talk) 14:04, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
Sati, Uma, Gauri, Durga, Kali, Aparna, Girija, Haimavati, Shankari, Maheshvari ... ???
In the Siva-purana Uma is a consort of bhairava. In the Shiva Sutra, the 'Playful Uma' is considered the 'Power of Will'. She is the active principle in creation. The Linga Purana states : 'All that can create is but a form of 'Uma', here resembling Mula-Prakriti.
Sati kills herself in the yajna . Parvati was Sati's reincarnation after her death. Parvati is transformed into Mahamaya during her marriage in Shivas cage.
Maheshvari is the shakti of Isvara - also Mahamaya but a higher form than the transformed Parvati.
This article is a mixture of not-understanding the tantric contexts Manbu Manbu ( talk) 15:45, 14 March 2023 (UTC) ( talk) 15:43, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
While I understand that this well-written article was created with good intentions, the phrase "Hindu Mythology" has erupted throughout all Wikipedia articles about Hinduism- or Hindu-related gods and can be interpreted as disrespectful. Hinduism is a religion, a way of life, and the 1 billion people who follow this way of life hold its "myths" in high regard. The phrase "Hindu mythology" has been incorrectly used synonymously with the religion for many years, which is understandable, but perhaps it is time to modify that. It is disturbing to simply dismiss the religion as "mythology" given that it is still practiced by a significant portion of the world's population (about 15%). Additionally, as a Hindu myself, I believe it to be quite disrespectful to both my existence and my beliefs, and I have no doubt that other Hindus will share this opinion. Devi Parvati, our Adi Shakti, is a reality for many, so please refrain from dismissing our goddess as a myth. I humbly request that the use of mythology in this article should be corrected. I will also be posting this on many other talks including the Hindu Mythology wiki page.
I believe the article (linked below) put it best...although the words myth or mythology itself do not mean fiction, they certainly imply it. Perhaps using the a phrase "Hindu epics" or even "Hinduism" itself is a start.
