Loosely translated to English the caption reads, with the blessings of Mahadev, on the auspicious occasion of Shivratri, my life is blessed with a Parvati- like baby girl. It is a blessing for me and my family to have the baby girl on this sacred occasion. This is an emotion which cannot be expressed in words. She winds up the short post by asking for blessings for the baby.
