Jyeshtha Gauri Avahan is the ceremonial welcoming and invocation of Goddess Gauri (an incarnation of Goddess Parvati / Mahalaxmi) during the annual Ganesh Chaturthi festival.
Celebrated with immense devotion across Maharashtra and parts of Goa and Karnataka, this three-day festival honors Goddess Gauri, who is believed to visit her maternal home (Mayka) accompanied by her children.
