Sri Mandir Chadhava Seva

Sawan Shivratri-Mangala Gauri Vrat Gauri Kedareshwar Shiv-Parvati Vivah Chadhava

After 4 long years, Sawan Shivratri and the Second Mangala Gauri Vrat fall on the same day, a rare convergence where the divine energies of Mahadev and Maa Gauri are worshipped together. It is the sacred remembrance of Shiv-Parvati Vivah, the eternal union born from Maa Parvati's unwavering tapasya, making this one of the most powerful occasions to seek blessings for love, marriage, family harmony, and lasting relationships.

🛕 And there is no more fitting place on earth to receive this dual grace than Shri Gauri Kedareshwar Temple, Varanasi.
Among all, Gauri Kedareshwar is the only temple where Lord Shiva and Goddess Gauri (Parvati) do not merely share a premise; they inhabit the same Swayambhu (self-manifested) Shivling, eternally inseparable. The Shivling here is divided into two sacred halves.

Shiv-Parvati Vivah Chadhava - Deeper Significance
This special offering symbolizes the remembrance and reenactment of the divine marriage of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati that took place at the beginning of creation. It is believed to please Lord Shiva, who, seeing a devotee's reverence for His divine consort, Goddess Gauri (Parvati), blesses them by fulfilling their sincere marital aspirations.
It is also believed that Manglik Dosha (Mangal Dosha) is pacified through the blessings of the united form of Shiva and Gauri, as Goddess Parvati herself is regarded as the presiding deity of Manglik (Martian) energy.

Offer on the very night Shiva and Gauri stand together receptive to prayer, on their own Vivah night, at the very Shivling where they are eternally united. Don't let this pass!
