Jodhpur vibrates with Nav Sati celebrations every year
during the months of March-April. The Bilara Tehsil
region in Jodhpur resembles a brilliant painting aglitter
with a riot of colors during the Nav Sati festival.
The women of Jodhpur attach special significance to
the Nav Sati festival as this occasion commemorates
the memory of courageous and brave Rajput queens who
committed sati on the funeral pyres of their departed
husbands.
The women of Jodhpur gather in the Bilara Tehsil that
is the main center of celebration and bathe in the Ban
Ganga River first thing in the morning, adorn bright
clothes and pray to goddess Parvati or Gauri who is
regarded as the epitome of devotion and love.
Women fast, exchange sweets, dance, sing and remember
Rajput queens who died on their husband's funeral pyres
as satis. Rajasthani's treat satis as incarnations of
Goddess Gauri on Earth. In fact Hindus pray to Sati,
Nag Kanya, Savitri and Sati Anusuya on Nav Sati, as
they are believed to be incarnations of the divine deity
according to Hindu mythology.
Jodhpur celebrates the memory of daring Rajputanis
during Nav Sati and invites you to come and share their
brilliant culture and belief in pride, honor, dignity
and divinity that manifest themselves in various ways
during the Nav Sati festivities.
