    Mangala Gouri Puja or Shravana Mangala Gowri Puja, is an important Vrata observed by married women in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and in <?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = ST1 /><ST1:pLACE st="on">Maharashtra</ST1:pLACE>.

    It is performed for a happy married life and for the long life of the husband for first 5years of married life. It is observed on Tuesdays in the Shravan or Sawan month (July – August).

    This year the dates of Mangala Gowri Puja are on August 2, August 9, August 16 and August 23.

    so tomorrow is my 3rd Mangala Gowri Puja,this year am in Finland came for my official work and will be back to India on September.This year Mangala Gowri i will be doing without my husbands presence :oops: since am staying alone here,my mil thought i wont be doing it since am in Finland,but i packed all the pooja items and kept it in luggage bag which she didnt knewed.My mil was telling to my DH that i will miss pooja and told him to keep pooja set with Sil so that she can keep my pooja set while she perform her mangala gowri pooja,but my Dh told i have already taken everything to Finland :),Now my Mil is so happy,she didnt expect that i will take pooja things with me since i came to finland for 3month office trip.
    so this is going to be my first pooja without my husband presence,i have made a small arrangement in kitchen for Pooja preparation,will post tommorrow the snaps.
    share your Mangala gowri too here..

    Happy Shravan vrata.

    Br,
    Deepa.

    Dear Anisu..

    Glad to know about your fourth year,well i didnt bring much pooja set coz already the luggage bag went over loaded,so i bought only the main things required ,you can see it in the snap itself,its simple with little pooja items,at home i have big photos of god and goddess so couldnt able bring any photos ,i took only mangala gowri set (lingam).

    The order of the snap is from bottom to top,am staying in students block so ladies are 2% hardly we can see them out and more over there is no indians in my building so i consider the 5 supari as 5 ladies and keep haldi kumkum to it.

    Nice snaps Deepa...

    so lingam is the main for your pooja ...

    But mine is slightly different way of doing the pooja ....

    I keep the photo of God Shiva and Parvathi, then 5 blouse pieces folded in triangle shape, 16 beetal leaves and 16 supari, then make gowri out of haldi, place it on a jaggery,then keep the kalash and perform pooja ....I shall post the snap soon..
