Sati, also known as Dakshayani, is the Goddess of long life and marital bliss. Dakshayani is Lord Shiva's first wife and an aspect of Parvati or Goddess Adi Shakti. Sati spent many years performing penance in order to please Shiva. Sati chose rigorous penance despite being raised in a royal family. Shiva's heart was won over by her genuine devotion and love, and he appeared before her to accept her proposal.
