Meaning Despite multiple names, Gangaur is a celebration of a perfect marriage, that between Shiv and Parvati. The name itself is a symbolic union – Gan is another name for Shiv and Gauri for Parvati. All married girls in same locality do poojan in their 1st first year of marriage. It starts from the day holika is burnt and continues for 16 to 18 days. One lady can’t do it alone. It is supposed to be done in pairs. Gangaur is largely female-centric, ladies pray for the welfare of their husbands and unmarried girls pray to get husband of their choice. The festival has a lot of religious importance to the people as Lord Shiva and Parvati represents perfection and connubial love. The rite way Typically, handcrafted idols of Shiv and Parvati are made from cow dung and ashes from the Holika dahan bonfire for the first eight days. Alongside this, 16 balls, each made from roli (holy red thread), kajal and heena, are made and kept for a puja. Wheat also plays an important role in the ceremonies; some grains are sowed in an earthen pot called ‘kunda’ and worshipped, while exactly seven grains of wheat are given to the women who preserve it carefully for the puja. (Pooja vidhi is given in detail in last section of this article) Day of the puja Ingredients required for the puja: some water in a vessel, a stick of turmeric, a silver ring (the latter two signifying Lakshmi), and the seven grains of wheat. During the puja, women sing songs in praise of Shiv and Parvati and unmarried girls and newly-wed brides (in the first year of marriage) observe the Suraj-Rota ka vrat (fast) for the Sun God. There is an interesting ritual that the women observe during this time –a small hole is made in a fried puri, which is used to look at the sun as an offering to the Sun God. This ritual is carried out with utmost care without exposing the puri to direct sunlight. This is done only on a Sunday (the day of the Sun God). During Gangaur, women eat food without salt once a day before sunset. Activities:- Each day all girl’s & women wear new traditional dresses with Mehendi in hands, and assemble at married women home.

दिन- रात सुमिरण करने का क्या अर्थ है? मुख मे और ह्रदय मे एक ही भाव बना रहे...परमात्मा है-- मै नही हू, लेकिन बहुत से लोगो ने गलत समझ ली है बात। हरे कृश्न -हरे राम वाले लोग है, वे सडको पर चीखते-चिल्लाते फिरते है हरे राम-हरे राम..।वह चीखना-चिल्लाना है, उससे कोई सार नही है। सार तो तब हैजब तुम बैठो, उठो, चलो, सो जाओ,जागो उसका भाव ना भुले। एक सतत स्मरण की धार तुम्हारे भीतर बहती रहे।उसकी भाव-धारा बनी राहे। तुम उसे भुलो ना। जैसे तुम किसी के प्रेम मे पड जाते हो, तो तुम सब काम करते हो, लेकिन भीतर , ह्रदय की धडकन मे प्रेमी का स्मरण बना रहता है।तुम उसे भूल नही पाते हो।उसकी याद बनी रहती है।एक मीठी सी पीडा ह्रदय के पास घनिभूत हो जाती है। एक कांटा चुभता रहता है।उस कांटे मे चुभन भी है, मिठास भी है।वह चुभन भी सौभाग्य है क्योकि वह चुभन भी उन्ही के जीवन मे उतरती है जो धन्यभागी है, जिन्होने श्रद्धा को पाया है, अन्यथा नही उतरती।.......
