Distraught after the death of his wife Sati (incarnation of Adishakti), Shiva isolates himself and becomes immersed in deep meditation. To restore order, Adishakti takes birth as Ganga and Uma. Uma undertakes arduous austerities to break Shiva's penance to beget the prophesied child to slay Taraka, while Ganga is brought to heaven where she becomes a celestial river coursing the heavens, purifying anything she touches.
