Jyeshtha Gauri Avahana is an auspicious event celebrated in Maharashtra with great devotion. Goddess Gauri is worshipped as Mahalakshmi or Gauri Mata, symbolising prosperity, fertility, and well-being. The term ‘Jyeshtha’ refers to the elder form of Gauri, often depicted as the elder sister or aspect of Parvati.
