गणगौर

Rajasthan's most beloved women's festival — 18 days honoring Gauri (Parvati) and her reunion with Shiva. Women worship clay idols of Gangaur (Gauri) and Isar (Shiva) for 18 days, then immerse them. Jaipur's Gangaur procession is the grandest, with palanquins, elephants and traditional costumes. Unmarried women pray for good husbands; married women for husband's longevity.
