Gangaur Festival

A festival devoted to Godess Parvati, the consort of Lord Shiva। It is a time for young girls to dress up in their finery and pray for grooms of their choice while the married women pray for the well-being of their husbands। This 18-day festival is laced with various activities and culminates in a grand procession marking the arrival of Lord Shiva to escort his bride home.
