It is said that Parāśakti came to Kāñcī and performed penance in Kāśi as Annapūraṇi and so there was no hunger for twelve years in that city. She is represented as seated with folded legs and with two hands of which the left holds the ladle in muṣṭi-hasta or kapittha and the right holds alapadma with a pot placed on that hand. In iconography, she is represented in padmāsana or ardha-padmāsana pose and the hands are in muṣṭi hasta/kaṭaka-hasta and vismaya-hasta in the left and right respectively.
