Hi,
I had registered myself for Holi event for FREE couple of days back.
I got an email from ‘Nikunj Mehta’ for the contact number but after that no reply.
Should we just come to the program location(for Holi) on Saturday or there is anything we need to bring. Will I get a confirmation email from RANA?
Thanks,
Charu

I am sorry to post it here.. as I know its inapt. But I am desperate to know-
1.Is there anywhere in California, San francisco where I can buy gangore images(isharji)?
2. Is gangore pooja performed somewhere in bay area, as it is my 1st gangore after marriage, and I dont know how to go about it?

First you have to get well dressed–like a bride. Then do pooja of parvati ji, just saying a few bhajans are good enough, or u can even do a durga saptshati pooja, but for practical purposes and to have a fun gangore, just do the pooja urself. Then take the blessings of a married lady who is older than you and also give her a gift. Then eat with your husband presumably. Thats gangor in a nutshell….it comes in march, seems u will have to catch it next year. By the way, you have to continue gangor pooja for 16 days before the actual gangor day. Then there is shinjara, where your inlaws give you dresses, jewellery, cars (if u have it like that) so basically laxmi will always bless their home. Unmarried should do this for their potential mate and married within one year should go to their maternal home to do gangor (newlywed) after the newness of the marriage wears off, then u can continue to do at ur home be it inlaws or otherwise. The old ladies sit down and tell stories about their husbands and how to pray for the long life of the husband. Hope this was helpful.
