It is believed that worshipping Goddess Parvati during the Jyeshtha Gauri Pujan brings marital bliss and happiness to the lives of married couples. The festival begins with the ritual of invoking Goddess Gauri’s idol at homes on Jyeshtha Gauri Avahana. Women dress in traditional attires and decorate the entrance of their houses by drawing Goddess Gauri’s feet with rangoli colours. They adorn the idol with beautiful gold and silver embellishments to mark the arrival of Gowri Ganesh to their abode. The second day is observed with special puja and aarti to appease the Goddess, who is also characterised by preparing sixteen traditional dishes on the festive day. The third and the last day is celebrated as Jyeshtha Gauri Visarjan, when the religious idols are immersed in flowing water to bid farewell to Goddess Gowri. The haldi-kumkum ceremony is followed alongside other customs and traditions. Thus, the Gowri Ganesh fasting period holds special significance in Hindu culture, which is celebrated across the country with full pomp and show. Happy Jyeshtha Gauri Puja!
