She performed penance in the forest leaving all the comforts of palace behind. She penanced for many years because of which her body get covered with dust and soil and skin became blackish in color. Lord Shiva appeared before her and gave his solemn word that he would marry her. He bathed her by the holy waters of the Ganga.

Maa Mahagauri Aarti :- 

jay mahaagauree jagat kee maaya .

jaya uma bhavaanee jay mahaamaaya ..

mahaagauree tera vahaan nivaasa ..

chandrakalee or mamata ambe .

jay shakti jay jay maan jagadambe ..

bheema devee vimala maata .

kaushikee devee jag vikhyaata ..

himaachal ke ghar gauree roop tera .

mahaakaalee durga hai svaroop tera ..

satee ‘sat’ havan kund mein tha jalaaya .
