What is the Gangaur Festival?

The Gangaur Festival is a traditional Rajasthani festival that honors Gauri, the goddess of abundance and prosperity, and celebrates the marriage of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. It is primarily observed by women, who worship the goddess for marital bliss and a prosperous life. The festival takes place annually, beginning on the first day of the Chaitra month (March-April) of the Hindu calendar and continues for 18 days.

The Rich History of Gangaur Festival

The Gangaur Festival is celebrated to honor Gauri, the goddess of abundance, prosperity, and marital bliss, as well as to mark the marriage of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. The festival has its roots in the ancient traditions of Rajasthan, particularly in the Mewar region, where the Mewar Rajputs have been devoted followers of the deities. The word “Gangaur” comes from the combination of Gauri (Parvati) and Isht Gauri (an affectionate name for the goddess), and the festival signifies the union of the divine couple, celebrating marital love, harmony, and prosperity.

The Gangaur Festival has a deep historical significance in Rajasthan, especially in Udaipur. This festival has been celebrated for centuries, originating from the ancient Hindu rituals of honoring Gauri, who is believed to bring good fortune and happiness. The festival is also an expression of marital love and bond, and it highlights the rich cultural and artistic heritage of Rajasthan.

The Gangaur Festival in Udaipur is historically intertwined with the royal Mewar family’s rituals and traditions. According to local legends, the Mewar Royals have always played a central role in the Gangaur celebrations, and the grand Gangaur Procession led by the royal family is one of the festival’s most iconic highlights.

During the festival, married women pray for the longevity of their husbands, while unmarried women worship the goddess in hopes of finding a suitable life partner. The vibrant processions, boat rides, prayers, and rituals all come together to form the joyous occasion that is celebrated for 18 days, starting from the first day of the Chaitra month (around March-April).

In Udaipur, the celebrations are particularly grand due to the city’s royal heritage. The Mewar royals have historically patronized the Gangaur celebrations, and this royal touch is visible in the grandeur and rituals of the festival.

Driving into Udaipur was a thrilling adventure, up and down the rolling hills of Aravalli until my eyes spied some beautiful lakes in the distance. Udaipur is known as the “Venice of the East.”The setting of this town attracts visitors from far and near to enjoy the serenity of this beautiful lake city. Elegant Lake Palace sitting in the middle of Lake Pichola, Lush green hills surrounding the lakes with a setting sun shimmering on the back sets the mood for romance. This little beauty was founded in 1553 by Maharana Udai Singh second as the new capital of Mewar Kingdom. . . .

Gangaur Ghat also known as Gangori Ghat is a main ghat situated near the waterfront of Lake Pichola. It is a very small ghat, surrounded by a lot of pigeons.
