The Gowri–Ganesha Festival is widely celebrated in Mandya homes and temples, symbolizing family unity and devotion. Goddess Gowri is worshipped first, followed by Lord Ganesha, who is believed to remove obstacles and bring prosperity.
Homes are decorated with flowers and rangoli, and families come together to perform poojas and offer traditional sweets. The festival is especially popular among households and reflects the importance of family values in Mandya’s culture.
