Who Must Do Mangla Gauri Puja?
All the women who want to be blessed with a happy and stable married life should keep this vrat. If the couple is facing marriage troubles and is not able to overcome the issues, then this vrat holds great importance.

Significance Of Mangla Gauri Vrat
Apart from just achieving the blessings of a happy married life, the importance also counts other factors. Let’s have a look:

Tuesdays, when the vrat is observed, are ruled by the planet Mars (Mangal), a planet that is associated with energy and conflicts. Observing Maa Gauri Vrat on this day can ward off the malefic effects on your life, especially solving marital problems.

Whatever your heart desires, such as if the unmarried woman wants to be blessed with a lovable and virtuous husband of her wish, her Kamna would be accepted. Couples seeking children would get their desire fulfilled.
c. Feminine Power
Maa Gauri is highly known by the name Shakti, and keeping the vrat of Maa Gauri attracts deep feminine power that teaches the women the virtue of courage, patience, and unconditional love.
The bhakti that we do while observing the vrat also helps women to regain their inner lost strength while also upholding family values.
d. Graha Shanti
Mangla Gauri vrat balances the Mars planet, which means your home conflicts could be resolved or will be overcome with peace and serenity. The moon, which is the planet of emotional stability, and Venus, which means love, also get balanced, keeping this vrat.
e. Mind-Body Detox
You will feel emotionally and physically bloomed, connecting with the super divine energy of Mangla Gauri. Fasting will purify the body, thoughts, and emotions, which can act as a detox for the soul and health.
