Swarna Gowri Vratham Rituals & Significance

On Gowri Habba day, people believe Mata Gauri visits their homes like any married woman who comes to her parents’ house and is taken back to the Kailash Parvat by her son Lord Ganpati the next day on Ganesh Chaturthi. The custom of Swarna Gowri Vratham is performed to appease the Goddess. Both married and unmarried women perform the Gowri Habba Puja. A married female wears new clothes early in the day and does sthapana by installing a symbolic idol of Mata Gowri made up of turmeric. These idols are called Jalagauri or Arishinadagauri. The murti or a golden image of the Goddesses is also worshipped in some homes. It is necessary to perform the puja ritual with cleanliness and pure dedication. In Karnataka and most of South India, families celebrate this pious occasion by exchanging gifts as a symbolisation of Mangala-Dravya from the family of the married women to their daughters.
