Mangala Gauri Vrat, also known as Mangala Gauri Puja, is a popular Hindu fasting ritual dedicated to Goddess Gauri. It is typically observed by married women seeking blessings for a happy and prosperous married life. The Vrat is usually performed on Tuesdays during the Hindu month of Shravan.

During the Mangala Gauri Vrat, women wake up early in the morning to take a bath and wear new clothes. They then prepare a sacred altar with images or idols of Goddess Gauri, along with offerings of fruits, flowers, and sweets. The fasting is observed throughout the day, with devotees breaking their fast only after performing the evening puja.

The Mangala Gauri Vrat is believed to bestow blessings of good health, marital harmony, and progeny upon the devotees. The puja is also performed to seek protection from negative energies and obstacles in life.
