Tourist Destinations of Rajasthan Bharatpur Ganguar Festival - State Wide Festival
Gan is a synonym for
Shiva and Gaur which stands for Gauri or Parvati who symbolises saubhagya
(marital bliss). Gauri is the embodiment of perfection and conjugal love
which is why the unmarried women worship her for being blessed with good
husbands, while married women do so for the welfare, health and long life
of their spouses and a happy married life. The ladies decorate
their hands and feet by drawing designs with mehendi (myrtle paste). The
figures drawn range from the Sun, Moon and the stars to simple flowers or
geometrical designs. The festival reaches its climax during the last three days. Unmarried girls and married women decorate the images and make them look like living figures. At an auspicious hour in the afternoon, a procession is taken out to a garden, tank or a well with the images of Isar and Gauri, placed on the heads of married women. Bharatpur Travel Map
