The people have faith that Gaur, wife of
Shiva, was married to Shiva and they lived in Rajasthan.
She could come home only once a year. This comeback
of Mata Gaur is celebrated by making small idols of the
Gaur and are worshipped alongwith Shiva.
The women of Malwa observe Gangaur twice a year in
the month of Bhadra and Chaitra.
This festival includes offering of grown wheat or Blades
of rice to the idols by married women.
