In Hinduism, many interesting and shocking things are revealed about the age of deities, which are described in mythology. In these stories, many things have been told about the age difference between Lord Rama to Radha-Krishna, from Shiva-Parvati to Ganesha and Lakshmi. By knowing these religious stories, we get a deep understanding of our religion and culture.
According to the Ramayana, there was a difference of about 9 years between Lord Rama and Mother Sita. Tulsidas has mentioned in his Ramcharitmanas that Mata Sita was 18 years old, while Lord Rama was 27 years old. Thus, there was a difference of 9 years between the two. At the same time, according to Valmiki Ramayana, Lord Rama was 7 years older than Mata Sita and 1 month older. It is written in Ramcharitmanas- 'Siya of the year eighteen, Ram of the twenty-seven.'
There has also been a difference of age between Radha and Krishna. According to many stories, Radha was 3 years older than Lord Krishna and 11 months older, while in some other stories, Radha is described as 4 years older than Krishna. At the same time, it has also been said in some special stories that Radha Rani was 9 months older than Kanha ji.
Lord Shiva is worshiped as Amar and Parvati ji as Goddess, so no definite difference of age has been mentioned between them. However, when mother Parvati did penance for marriage to Lord Shiva, she was between 16 and 18 years of age.
There is no difference of age between Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi, because Lord Vishnu is considered Anadi (immortal) and Goddess Lakshmi is also Adishakti (Amar). Some texts states that Lakshmi was revealed during the churning of the ocean, but Lord Vishnu was already present.
The wives of Lord Ganesha are Siddhi and Riddhi, who are considered a symbol of intelligence and spiritual powers and wealth and prosperity respectively. However, no clear information has been given in the Puranas about the age difference between Ganesha and his wives.
