Gangaur Sawari is a grand and colourful procession that takes place during the Gangaur festival in Jaipur, the pink city of India. This is a 300 years old tradition of Jaipur.
During the procession, beautifully decorated and brightly lit images of the Goddess Gauri and her husband Lord Shiva are carried in palanquins or on elephants through the streets of Jaipur. The procession is accompanied by traditional music and dance performances, as well as camels, horses and elephants decorated in colourful attire.
The procession starts from the City Palace and passes through various parts of the city, including Tripolia Bazaar, Choti Chaupar and Gangauri Bazaar, before returning to the City Palace. The entire city comes alive during this procession, with people lining the streets to catch a glimpse of the beautifully decorated idols and participate in the festivities.
The Gangaur Sawari is a celebration of the spirit of love, marriage and togetherness and is an important cultural event in Jaipur. It attracts tourists from all over the world and provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Rajasthan.
