Annapurna is already believed to mean "full of food" (feminine form), but it is normally translated as Goddess of the Harvests. In Hinduism, Annapurna is "... the universal and timeless kitchen-goddess ... the mother who feeds. Without her, there is starvation and a universal fear. Her most popular shrine is located in Kashi, on the banks of the river Ganga." Her association with the giving of food (wealth) led her in time to be transformed into Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth, so from a religious view, it is important to respect Mother Nature, and create peaceful and calm surroundings.
