Parvati disguised as Sita
Lord Shiva looked at Parvati and continued, "Oh sweet Parvati! The demon king Lord Ravana abducted Sita. Rama is now searching for her. He is completely devoted to his wife, Sita," he said.

Parvati expressed her doubts, "Oh, merciful Lord, if he is Vishnu as you say, Sita’s abduction by Ravana, the demon king of Lanka and finding Sita should be easy for him. Why go through so much trouble? Are you certain about this?

Pat came to the reply from Shiva, "Why don’t you test him and find out for yourself?"

Instantly, Parvati disguised herself as Sita and set off to find Rama. She had not gone far when she saw Rama. Parvati was confident that he would not be able to see through her disguise. Rather he would be overjoyed to see his beloved wife. She quietly walked up to him. Nevertheless, Rama greeted her with reverence, ‘O Mother Parvati, why do you grace me with your presence alone? Why did Shiva not come as well?’

Parvati was astonished. She was also rather embarrassed, ‘Forgive me O Lord. I just want to find about your real identity. I decided to check for myself,’ she said.
