Gaura Parva is a major Hindu festival, especially celebrated in the far western region of Nepal (Sudurpashchim and parts of Karnali), honoring the goddess Gauri (Parvati) and her marriage to Lord Shiva.
Celebrated mainly by women, Gaura Parva involves rituals such as fasting, soaking a mixture of grains called Biruda, singing traditional songs, and performing the distinctive Deuda dance, all with prayers for the health and prosperity of their families. The festival, usually held in the Nepali month of Bhadra (August/September), symbolizes marital devotion and cultural identity in far western Nepal
