The story

Gangaur Festival Jaipur in Jaipur

A sixteen-day Chaitra-month festival honoring Gauri and her consort Isar, marked in Jaipur by a City Palace procession from the Zanani Deodhi gate carrying the goddess's image on palanquins and bullock carts. Observed mainly by married and unmarried women for marital wellbeing, it falls in spring shortly after Holi, distinct from the monsoon-season Teej.

On the day after Holi, clay or repainted wooden idols of Gauri, identified with Parvati, and her consort Isar, identified with Shiva, are dressed in new garments inside Jaipur homes and at the City Palace, beginning a Chaitra-month observance that runs for about sixteen days.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Gangaur's paired deities, Gauri and Isar together, and its spring timing tied directly to Holi mark it apart from Rajasthan's other major women's festival, Teej, which honors Teej Mata alone during the monsoon

02

The mystery stays covered

The Jaipur procession's starting point at the City Palace's Zanani Deodhi gate, and the practice of married women carrying the idols on their heads during the culminating afternoon walk to a garden or stepwell, are specific, documented features of the city's observance rather than generic festival description
