In Sanskrit literature, Kumarasambhava poem is one of the greatest epic poems written by the famous poet Kalidasa. Kumarasambhava basically talks about the birth of Kumara, the first son of Lord Shiva and Parvati and basically talks about the courtship of Lord Shiva and Parvati. The majority of chapters have vast details about the love and romance between Shiva and Parvati. It is said that a powerful demon named Tarakasur was blessed that none except the child of Lord Shiva could kill him. However, Shiva had curtailed the desire for love by intense meditation. Due to the great efforts of Parvati and through much penance, she won the love of Lord Shiva.

After sometime, Shiva and Parvati were blessed with a son whom they named Karthikeya. He grew up and killed the demon and restored peace and the glory of Lord lndra and the divine world.
