The name Skandamata comes from her role as the mother of Lord Skanda, who is revered as the commander of the divine army. When Goddess Parvati gave birth to Lord Skanda, she became known as Skandamata. Devotees believe that worshipping her not only pleases the Goddess but also grants the blessings of Lord Kartikeya.
