Mangala Gowri Vratha And Pooja Vidhanam
For the first year, the newly married women perform the poojas in their mother's house as they would be staying their for ashada maasa and then continue in their husband's house for the next five years.
Rituals Associated With Gowri Habba
The vrata is mentioned in the holy books called Bhavishyoththara Purana of the hindu religion and is followed in the southern states of India. The vrata vidhan varies from region to region but the belief is the same. By the end of the mangala gowri vrata, the women need to gift their mother with a vessel of dhaanyaa (pooja items) and seek the blessings and good wishes.
The reason why young women perform mangala gowri pooja is to be "Sumanagali" and "Soubhagyavati" (meaning: remain safe from the curse of widowhood). The poojas are also done to get good "santan" (meaning: children).
