Gauri Habba (Kannada: ಗೌರಿಹಬ್ಬ, romanized: Gaurihabba)[1] is a Hindu festival celebrated a day before Ganesh Chaturthi in Karnataka.[2]
This festival celebrates the goddess Gauri (Parvati) who is venerated as the mother of Ganesha. It is usually observed by married women and is a significant festival in Karnataka.[3] It is known as Hartalika in the North Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. Gauri, the mother of Ganesha and wife of Shiva, is worshipped throughout India for her ability to bestow upon her devotees courage and power. Hindu belief has it that Gauri is the incarnation of Mahadevi and the shakti of Shiva. It is believed that on Thadige, or the third day of the month of Bhadra, Gauri comes home like any married woman comes to her parents' house. The next day Ganesha, her son, comes as if to take her back to her abode of Kailasha.
The Svarna Gauri Vrata (Svarṇagaurīvrata) is performed on the occasion to appease the goddess.[4]
