To get Lord Shiva as her husband, the goddess had performed severe penance due to which her body turned black. Pleased with the penance of the goddess, God accepts her and Lord Shiva washes her body with Ganga water, then the goddess becomes extremely radiant like lightning, and from then on, she is named Gauri. A lion was very hungry, and in search of food, he reached the place where Goddess Uma was doing penance. Seeing the goddess, the lion’s hunger increased but he sat there waiting for the goddess to wake up from her penance. During this wait, the lion became very weak. When the goddess wakes up from her penance, seeing the plight of the lion, she feels pity on him, and the mother makes him her rider because, in a way, he too had performed penance. Therefore, the ride of Goddess Gauri is both bull and lion.
