Description
Gowri Ganesha Puja is a twin celebration of feminine divinity and auspicious beginnings. Devotees worship Goddess Gowri (Parvati) and Lord Ganesha to invoke their blessings for prosperity, good fortune, and removal of obstacles. This puja marks a sacred beginning before Ganesh Chaturthi and is widely celebrated in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra.
Historical & Mythological Significance
Goddess Gowri is believed to visit her maternal home a day before Ganesh Chaturthi. Her arrival signifies divine feminine power (Shakti) and is marked by performing the Swarna Gowri Vratha. The next day, Lord Ganesha, her son, is worshipped with elaborate rituals to remove all doshas and bring auspicious beginnings.
This tradition symbolizes the sacred bond between mother and child, highlighting purity, prosperity, and love within the family. The rituals performed during this festival are rooted in Skanda Purana and Ganesha Purana.
Regional Traditions & Rituals
In Karnataka, married women perform Swarna Gowri Vratha with clay idols and decorate with turmeric, kumkum, and bangles. The idol is worshipped with mangala dravya like flowers, coconut, rice, and betel leaves.
In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the focus remains on Gowri Devi’s pooja on Hartalika Teej, followed by Ganesha idol immersion after puja.
In Tamil Nadu, devotees emphasize Gauri Puja with traditional foods like Kozhukattai and perform it alongside Ganesh Chaturthi.
