Highlights
Experience the Taj Mahal, Ranthambore wildlife, and Jaipur's vibrant Gangaur festival on this 10-day luxury tour.
Gangaur is one of the most significant and colorful festivals of Rajasthan, dedicated to Goddess Gauri (Parvati), the divine consort of Lord Shiva. This vibrant festival is primarily celebrated by women, especially married women, who worship Goddess Gauri for marital bliss, prosperity, and the well-being of their husbands. The festival extends for 18 days, beginning on the day after Holi and culminating on Chaitra Shukla Tritiya.
The name 'Gangaur' is derived from 'Gan' (Lord Shiva) and 'Gaur' (Goddess Gauri/Parvati), symbolizing the divine union and eternal bond between them. The festival beautifully represents the ideals of a harmonious married life, devotion, love, and the sacred relationship between husband and wife. Celebrated with great enthusiasm in Rajasthan, especially in Jaipur, Udaipur, and other parts of the state, Gangaur showcases the rich cultural heritage and traditions of Rajasthan.
