Sri Lalitha Mahatripura Sundari sits on Shiva.
Here also, there are diversified answers to this question.
First answer is -- Kali
According to Devi Bhagavatam, Kali was out of control on the battlefield, such that she was about to destroy the entire universe. Shiva pacified her by lying down under her foot to pacify and calm her. Shiva doesn't exist without Shakthi. Shiva and shakthi are one.
Kali represents Mother Nature. She is Aum, the cosmic vibration. In Aum everything exists—all matter, all energy, and the thoughts of all conscious beings. Hence, Her garland of heads, to show that She is invisibly present in all minds.
The play of life and death expresses Her activity in Nature: creation, preservation, and destruction. Hence the sword, the head, and a third hand extended, bestowing life.
“Her energy is omnipresent; hence Her streaming hair, representing energy.
Shiva, Her husband, represents God in His vibrationless state, beyond creation. Thus, He is depicted as supine in this phase.
Legend has it that, once upon a time Devi Kali got very angry from devils and start killing everyone. No one was able stop her who is source of energy and power. Only Lord Shiva knows how to stop her. He is husband of Devi Shakti and Devi Kali is a form of Devi Shakti so she would also behave like a wife of Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva lay down on the way of Devi kali and once she put her feet on Him, she realized that it was totally wrong and she went calm.
The second answer is -- Parvathi
Abhirami Bhattar describes that, when Lord Siva and Goddess Parvati had had an argument, and had then made up, Lord Siva lifted the Goddess' foot and puts it on His head. It is said that Lord Siva holds in His hand a fire. Bhattar wonders where He laid this fire, when He lifted Goddess Parvati's foot. The Samkhya philosophy confirmed and supported this.
