Hindu gods and goddesses and the cultural traditions centered around them in India are enriched by the folk beliefs and practices of the different regions of the country. From the vibrant and historically endowed state of Rajasthan, comes one such folk practice of the festival of “Gangaur”, a celebration of the marriage of Gana (Shiva) and Gaur (Gauri or Parvati). This handmade wooden Gangaur set is an appealing gem from the treasure of Indian folk culture.
Gangaur rituals and pooja include fasting by married and unmarried women seeking the blessings of Maa Parvati. Generally made of clay, Gangaur sets are commissioned by influential Rajput families to be made from wood by the local Rajasthani artists known as Matheran. Baggu Ji has embellished the wooden Gangaur set using bright red and green shades- popularly picked by newlyweds and for auspicious occasions. Gaur or Shiva appears as a Rajasthani groom, decked in the ethnic Angarkha and royal Pagdi (headgear), complemented by his bride, Gauri, who looks equally lovely as a Rajasthani bride.
Truly Indian in its make and exotic in appearance, this Gangaur set is an aesthetic addition to your home.
