Shakti: The word "Shakti" means power, and it refers to the divine feminine power or energy that is believed to be present in the universe. Goddess Parvati is considered as the embodiment of this divine feminine energy or Shakti.

Lord Shiva's Masan Holi, a divine sight,
Celebrated with devotion, all day.
The sound of damru echoes in the air,
As devotees sing and dance with flair.
The ashes from the sacred pyre,
Are smeared on Lord Shiva, with great desire.

According to the mythology, Lord Shiva after marrying Goddess Parvati on Maha Shivratri came to Kashi on Falgun Shukla Ekadashi. This day is celebrated as Rangbhari Ekadashi ahead of Holi festival.
The Goddess Parvati and the Lord Shiva together play holi along with all the devottees of Lord Shiva during Rangbari Ekadashi with Pyre from the dead bodies.

This Photograph was captured during the celebration of Rangbari Ekadashi On March 7, 2023 at 5:32 PM, during a long walk around the city with the play of devotees dancing and singing, while devotees dressed like Parvati dancing to the beats of Damru I have captured this frame depicting the TRIDENT Or Trishul Of the Lord Shiva as the foreground and the aggressive form or Shakti as a Portrait.
