What is Gauri Shankar Puja?
Gauri Shankar Puja honours Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati together, as Gauri and Shankar. The divine couple is regarded as the model of devotion, patience and partnership, which is why this puja is often chosen by couples and families.
The vidhi usually includes Ganesh puja, sankalp, avahan of Gauri and Shankar, abhishek of the Shivling, shringar offerings to the Goddess, mantra recitation and aarti. Some families add a small havan or the recitation of Parvati Mangal or Shiva stutis.
It is commonly performed after a wedding, on an anniversary, or on days such as Hartalika Teej, Shravan Mondays and Maha Shivratri, according to family tradition.
Significance
The story of Parvati's devotion and tapasya to win Shiva as her husband is central to many vrats and festivals. Worshipping them together is traditionally seen as seeking the blessings of a harmonious union.
The puja is also associated with the Gauri Shankar Rudraksha, which represents the two as one, and many devotees wear it after the puja as per their custom.
ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥
