Gowri Habba

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gowri Habba is celebrated a day before Ganesh Chaturthi. It is a significant festival in parts of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh & Tamil Nadu. Gowri the mother of Lord Ganesha and wife of Lord Shiva is worshiped through out India for her ability to bestow upon her devotees courage & power.

Newly wed couples are invited to the Inlaws home, and served with varieties of Festive Food. In Olden days Newly Wed have to wait till Gowri Habba for their first Night. This practice has been in place for years which has been lost to modernisation. Logically speaking if couples mate on Gouri Habba which is during Winter Season, in case of immediate pregnancy, child will be born in summer which would be less pron to infections.
