About

Gowri Tritiya

Mangala Gowri Vratam is observed on every Tuesday that falls during Shravana masa (both Shukla and Krishna paksha), dedicated to Goddess Mangala Gowri, a form of Parvati. It is observed especially by newly-married women, who pray for the long life and wellbeing of their husbands and for a happy married life, and is popular in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, North India, and among certain communities in Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.

Since Shravana masa has 4 to 5 Tuesdays depending on the year, the vratam is observed on every one of them, with special poojas, alankarams, and offerings to the Goddess in homes and temples alike.
