Puja, keep the same thoughts of worshipping the Goddess and take a head-

bath (if possible an oil-bath), early in the morning.

Wash Kalasha and fill it with clean water upto 3/4 of it. Cover and place it

near the altar. Decorate the front door, altar and the place near the altar.

Keep all the things for pujaa ready, near the altar.

Observe Fast (if possible). Invite one’s relatives, friends (who have bhakti

in the Goddess).

45 Katha

Swarna Gowri Vratam or Gauri Vrat as the name

indicates is dedicated to Goddess Parvati, the wife of

Lord Shiva. This Vrat is known as Hartalika Vrat in

North India and Gowri Habba in Karnataka. Swarna

means ‘gold’ and in the ritual a golden image of

Goddess Parvati is worshipped along with Shiva linga.

In many places a clay idols of Goddess Gowri and Lord

Ganesha are worshipped on this day and later immersed

in a pond.

There is an interesting legend involving Swarna Gowri

Vratam and Ganesh Chaturthi. It is believed that

Goddess Parvati comes to earth to answer the prayers of

married and unmarried women during Swarna Gauri

Vratam. Gowri Vrat day is followed by the Ganesh

Chaturthi day. Hindus believe that Lord Shiva sends

Ganesha to fetch his mother from earth.

The important legend associated with Gowri Habba is

that of the birth of Ganesha. It is believed that Ganesha

was created by Goddess Parvati from her own body. She

asked her son to guard the doors of the house and went

to take bath. Shiva appeared there and was stopped by

the boy. Shiva did not recognize the boy and after few

heated arugements and Shiva in a fit of anger chopped

off the head of the boy. Soon Goddess Parvati arrived at

the scene and demanded that her son be brought back to

life. Shiva brought Ganesha back to life by placing the

head of an elephant instead of the human head. This

Vrata celeberates the power of Goddess Gouri.

In another legend, importance of Swarna Gowri Vratam

was narrated to Lord Muruga by Lord Shiva. Parvati

wanted to marry Lord Shiva but Shiva was in no mood

to reciprocate her love as he was mourning the death of

Sati. Parvati was determined to win the love of Lord

Shiva. So, she started intense austerities in a forest,

surviving on grass and fruits. Parvati continued this

intense ‘tapas’ for long sixteen years. Finally, Lord

Shiva was moved by Parvati’s intense devotion and love

and married her.

According to Puranas, Gowri Vratam will bestow

wealth and worldly well being to the people who

observe it. Women who observe the vrat wear the “dora”

with sixteen knots which represent the sixteen years of

Parvati devi’s penance. Legend has it that the ‘Vrata’ is

so powerful that even a dry tree will turn green after its

observance.

It is believed that unmarried women performing Swarna

Gauri Vratam will get good husbands and married

women will have a peaceful and happy married life.
