🕉️ Gauri (Parvati)
Every Tuesday of Shravan (5 Tuesdays)
Mangala Gauri Vrat
Mangala Gauri Vrat is observed by newly-married women (typically for the first 5 years after marriage) on every Tuesday of the Shravan month. Dedicated to Goddess Gauri (Parvati) for marital bliss, harmony with in-laws, and blessing for children. Especially important as a remedy for Manglik dosha — those with Mangal Dosha are prescribed this vrat as part of their post-marriage sanctification.
