Gangaur Fare Festival Jaipur Rajasthan India

Gangaur Fare

Gangaur is one of the important festivals in Rajasthan, which is celebrated a fortnight after Holi. It is perhaps the only festival in Rajasthan that is celebrated for 18 days. Celebrated in honor of Goddess Paravati, Gangaur festival is celebrated by the womenfolk of Rajasthan. On the occasion of the festival, offerings are made to the Goddess Parvati. The festival is considered an auspicious occasion for young people to choose their life partners.

Though celebrated across Rajasthan, the festival is a treat to watch in Jaipur and Udaipur. The festival is celebrated with pomp and show in Bikaner, Jodhpur and Jaisalmer. During the festival, images of Gauri, the other name of Goddess Paravati and Shiva called Gan are taken out in colorful processions.

Jaipur is an ideal place to tour during Gangaur festival as the Lake City presents a wonderful look on the occasion of the festival. The procession to Pichola Lake is the highlight of the Gangaur festival in Udaipur. The ceremony attracts a number of tourists and locals. The whole event comes to an end with the display of wonderful fireworks on the bank of Pichola Lake.

Activities
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. Songs are sung about the departure of Gauri to her husband's house. The procession comes back after offering water to the image of Gauri, which faces backwards on the first two days. On the final day, she faces in the same direction as Isar and the procession concludes with the consignment of all the images in the waters of a tank or a well. The women bid farewell to Gauri and turn their steps homewards with tears in their eyes and the Festival comes to an end.

This year my sister Sathya, my mother (from Buenos Aires) and me, are the people who will plan the travel, but be sure that if we can plan everything, we are going to work with Exotic India Escapes again, because the last year everything was perfect.

Hi Ashish, We are so sorry that could not write you earlier. When we reached to NY we had severe jet lag. As we just started to recover we were hit by Sandy Storm and a week later by Snow storm. We were without electricity for 2 weeks, had no phone and we still have no internet. This was the worst storm we were hit with. Thank God we had no damage to house or personnel. I just want to let you know that we had a great trip. This was almost perfect. The Guides and the drivers were excellent. Car was comfortable. The hotels were great. Above all this trip was unique, different than others. We would have never seen these places otherwise. Each place has something different and unique in culture. People were so nice all over.This was a great package. I would recommend it to all ages, young or old. The best part of trip was plan ride to see Himalyas, what an experience.We thankyou so much. I told Mr Batra to promote this Trip. If we can do any thing please let us know. Next year we want to see temples of South. With kind regards.

I am glad you wrote to ask about this! It was wonderful. We really enjoyed all the hotels (especially the Imperial hotel) and the tours given by Enille. He took us to different sites in Delhi including the Ghandi memorial site, and a couple of tombs, as well as the Qatar Mintub, which was reported to be the tallest stone structure. The drive to Agra was interesting to the say the least and certainly put things in perspective when you saw the stark contrast between the poor and everyone else. There was nothing to see in Agra other than the Taj Mahal but the hotel was beautiful so we just enjoyed that when we were not at the taj. The food was spectacular at all the places but it did not prevent us from getting Delhi belly!!! We suffered through no problem though... And the spa was absolutely gorgeous and soooo relaxing. The food was great and the weather could not have been better. I only did one Ayervedic treatment, which was nice but Gustavo just enjoyed the ambiance of the place, as did I. We really liked it and ended up wishing we had stayed there longer, especially with the long drive to/from Mangalore, but it was worth it!! I would recommend this trip to anyone!! We both really enjoyed it but will need to save our $$$ for awhile after that trip!!! Thanks you!!!
