Swayamvara Parvati Puja for Marriage Delays

About this Puja

Parvati performed severe penance to win Shiva as her husband. This puja is invoked where a marriage is repeatedly delayed, engagements break, or families cannot reach agreement.

Who Should Book This

Anyone whose marriage keeps being postponed, whose engagement has broken, or where two families cannot reach agreement.

The tradition follows Parvati's own quest for a husband and is most often described for women, but it is performed for men equally and is commonly booked by both.

Interesting Facts

• The Shiva Purana recounts Parvati undertaking extreme penance to win Shiva — the episode is also the subject of Kalidasa's poem Kumarasambhava.
• The name refers to swayamvara, the ancient practice in which a bride chose her own husband from assembled suitors; the puja frames the devotee as making a considered choice rather than waiting on one.
• It is most often scheduled in the month of Shravan and on Mondays, both of which the tradition assigns to Shiva and Parvati together.

Niyam — Observances

• Bathe early and wear clean clothes on each day of the ritual.
• Keep a sattvic diet for the duration; many devotees fast on the Monday.
• Offer water and bilva (bel) leaves at your own altar if you have access to them.
• Avoid alcohol and non-vegetarian food for the full duration, not only on the final day.
• Keep the household free of quarrels for the days of the puja, particularly with the family involved in the match.
