What is Gangaur?

Quick answer

Gangaur is a spring festival for Shiva and Parvati, kept with particular ceremony in Rajasthan. It follows Holi, and both Jaipur and Udaipur hold well-known processions.

Detailed answer

Married women and unmarried women take part with different customary hopes, depending on the family. Idols of Gauri are dressed and carried. As with Teej, the civil date changes every year.

If you watch a procession, stay at the edge, ask before photographing faces, and do not block a ritual path for a picture.
