On the day of Gowri Habba, women and young girls either prepare Jalagauri or Arishinagauri. Arishina Gauri is the small idol made up of turmeric paste. During the Gowri Habba puja, usually Kalash Sthapana or Ghata Sthapana ritual is not followed.
The main objectives of Gowri Habba puja are neatness and devotion. Women perform Gauri puja with devotion and dedication in their hearts and cleanliness in their physical atmosphere. It is to note that Gowri Habba 2023 date is September 18.
At first, Gowri mantapa is made with banana stem and mango leaves as all other puja mantapa. Banana stems are decorated around the mantapa like an arch. Mango leaves are set around the Gauri mantap. The mantap is also decorated with flower garlands. Vastra yugma (the thread like things made with cotton, turmeric and kumkum) are made to decorate Goddess Gauri. 16-knotted sacred thread, Gauri Daara, is prepared for Gauri Habba pooja. During Gauri pooja, Gauri Daara is worn by the married women who performed the Gauri Vrata.
