Though it is generally known as ‘Gaurī Habba’, the śāstraic name happens to be ‘SvarṇaGaurīvrata’. This is because this festival is unique and has distinct features compared to other vratas pertaining to Gaurī such as ‘Saubhāgyagaurī’, ‘Sampadgaurī’, ‘maṅgalagaurī’, ‘Lāvaṇyagaurī’, ‘Trilocanagaurī’, ‘Gajagaurī’ etc. Though all these are Gaurī festivals, ‘SvarṇaGaurīvrata’ is the most famous of these, and the practice of calling only this as ‘Gaurī festival’ is in vogue. It is like the ordinary people calling the saṅkramaṇa of makara māsa only as ‘saṅkranti’ specially, even though saṅkramaṇas occur every month. Likewise, this festival which is special, is called as ‘Gaurīvrata’. All over India, people in large numbers celebrate this festival.
