Gangaur, celebrated with vigour all over Rajasthan, is an important spring festival. The women invoke goddess parvati to bless them with everlasting marital bliss. Let us take a look at the celebrations in the remote village of Dundlod.
As we were driving through the barren tract to Dundlod, a little known village tucked away in the Shekhavati area of Rajasthan, we saw a brightly attired Rajesthani woman plucking flowers from the acacia tree. We stopped to photograph her and talk to her. She told us that the flowers were an offering to Gaur or goodess Parvati, who is worshipped during the festival of Gangaur which is an annual highlight of the sleepy little village of Dundlod.
