Description

Rajasthan, as well as areas of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and West Bengal, commemorate the Gangaur festival. It is one of the most important festivals in Rajasthan, and it is celebrated with tremendous zeal throughout the state. During the festival, which lasts from March to April, ladies worship Gauri, Lord Shiva's wife. Harvest, spring, childbearing and marital fidelity are all celebrated during this holiday. Unmarried women worship Gauri in order to obtain her blessings in finding a suitable husband. Married ladies worship her for their husbands' health, well-being, joyful married life, and long life.
