The auspicious festival of Jyeshtha Gauri Puja, popularly known as Gauri Pujan, will be celebrated this year on Monday, September 1, 2025. The festival holds immense importance in Maharashtra, particularly among the Marathi community, where devotees worship Goddess Gauri, the mother of Lord Ganesha, for prosperity, happiness, and family well-being.
Jyeshtha Gauri Puja Date and Time
The festival begins with Avahana (welcoming Goddess Gauri) followed by the main puja rituals on the second day. Married women especially observe fasts, decorate idols with beautiful attire, flowers, and jewelry, and offer traditional delicacies like puran poli, modak, and rice dishes. On the third day, devotees perform Visarjan, bidding farewell to the Goddess with prayers for her return next year.
Significance of Gauri Puja
Jyeshtha Gauri symbolizes fertility, prosperity, and strength. Devotees believe that worshipping the Goddess during this period brings peace, harmony, and abundance to families. The festival is also closely associated with Ganesh Chaturthi, as Gauri is revered as the motherly form of divine energy who visits her son, Lord Ganesha.
