Gangaur Festival
Gangaur is a traditional Hindu festival celebrated in Rajasthan, India.
This festival is all about honouring Goddess Gauri or Parvati, and celebrating marriage and love. In this celebration, both married and unmarried women take part in the festivities in full enthusiasm, make clay images of Shiva and Parvati, dress them beautifully, offer prayers to them, observe day-long fast for marital happiness and prepare delightful dishes for the family. As for the locals of Rajasthan, Goddess Parvati represents perfection and marital love; thus, the Gangaur festival holds a lot of importance for them.
