What is Swarna Gowri Vratham?
Swarna Gowri Vratham — Gowri Habba in Karnataka — is the worship of Goddess Gowri (Parvati) on Bhadrapada Shukla Tritiya, the day before Ganesha Chaturthi, kept by married women for a happy married life and by young women for a good husband.
Gowri is believed to come home to her parents’ house on Tritiya, and her son Ganesha follows the next day to take her back. Families install a Gowri idol or a kalasha with turmeric Gowri, and women tie the sacred thread (gowri dara) with sixteen knots on their wrists.
