Gangaur (Sanskrit: गणगौर, IAST: Gaṇagaura) is a Hindu festival celebrated in the Indian states of Rajasthan, Haryana,[1] the regions of Malwa, Nimar regions[2] (Manawar, Barwani, Khargone, Khandwa) of Madhya Pradesh and the Braj[3] and Bundelkhand regions of Uttar Pradesh. It is also celebrated in some parts of Gujarat and West Bengal. A variation of same festival known as Chaitra Gauri Vrat is observed on the same day in the states of Maharashtra and northern Karnataka.[4] Another variation called Saubhagya Gauri Vratam is observed in the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.[5]
Gangaur is a colourful festival which is one of the most important celebrations of the people of Rajasthan. It is observed throughout the state with great fervor and devotion by womenfolk who worship the goddess Gauri (Parvati), the consort of Shiva during the Hindu month of Chaitra (March–April).[6] It is the celebration of spring, harvest, marital fidelity, conjugal blessedness, and childbearing. Unmarried women worship the goddess in hopes of being blessed with a good husband, while married women do so for the welfare, health, and long life of their husbands.[7]
