This is the Katha
According to mythology, once there was an acute shortage of food on earth which forced people to starve and die. With no solution left, people prayed to Brahma and Vishnu. Then Brahma and Vishnu woke Lord Shiva from his Yoga nidra and let him know about the whole situation. To find a solution of the problem, Shiva himself inspected earth. Then Mother Parvati incarnated as Annapurna and appeared on earth. After this Lord Shiva appeared as a beggar in front of Goddess Annapurna and asked her for some rice and then distributed it among the poor. After this the scarcity of food and water got eradicated from earth. The day Goddess Annapurna appeared on earth; it was the Purnima Tithi of Margshirsh month. Since then, this day is celebrated as the day of incarnation of Goddess Annapurna.
