Have you ever wondered who got married first—Lord Shiva or Lord Vishnu?

To answer this, we need to focus on the marriage of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. According to scriptures and Puranas, Goddess Lakshmi emerged as one of the 14 treasures during the Samudra Manthan (churning of the ocean). At the same time, during this event, there’s a story of Lord Shiva consuming the deadly poison (halahala) where Goddess Parvati is mentioned. When Lord Shiva drank the poison, Goddess Parvati held it in his throat to save him.

Based on this story, it can be said that Lord Shiva's marriage happened first because Goddess Parvati was already present when Goddess Lakshmi appeared.

However, there is a contradiction to this. According to the Vishnu Purana, when Sage Durvasa cursed Indra, Goddess Lakshmi left the heavens and re-emerged during the Samudra Manthan.

So, what do you think—whose marriage happened first?
