Holiday in honour of Gowri Ganesha
Women who are married or single perform Gowri Habba. On Gowri Habba day, certain civilizations revere a golden image of the goddess Parvati. On this day, Goddess Parvati is reported to visit her devotees, and the next day (Ganesh Chaturthi day), Lord Ganesha makes an appearance to return her to Kailasa, where Lord Shiva resides.
Married ladies practise Ganesh Gouri in order to have a happy and peaceful marriage. Unmarried women engage in it in an effort to find decent spouses.
Although clay murtis of Goddess Gowri are also available, the murti is often fashioned with turmeric. The festival is celebrated in various ways around the nation. In some places, people also worship a clay Ganesha statue. The central narrative is on Goddess Gowri’s creation of Ganesha from her own body.
