Meaning
The goddess of the Shravana Tuesdays
Mangala Gauri is Parvati worshipped as the giver of mangalya, the auspicious married state. This list of 108 names is the one most Telugu households read during the Mangala Gauri Vratam on Shravana Tuesdays. The namavali itself does not say which text it comes from.
How the names move
The first names introduce her as daughter and mother: Gauri, Ganesha Janani, Giriraja Tanudbhava and Guhambika. Names tied to the vrata follow, such as Mangalya Dayini, Sarva Mangala and Saubhagyada. Name 62, Haridra Kumkuma Aradhya, puts the method of the puja, turmeric and kumkum, into a name.
In the middle of the list other goddesses become her names. Durga, Katyayani, Annapurna, Saraswati, Shyamala, Bagala and Pratyangira all appear as titles of this one Gauri. Name 77, Markandeya Varaprada, recalls her boon to the young sage Markandeya. The last stretch turns to Sri Vidya, calling her Sri Chakra Vasini, Kameshvara Patni, Hrimkari and Tripura, and the list closes with Swarna Gauri and Shodashakshara Devata.
When it is read
On the vrata day Gauri is shaped from turmeric paste, a thread is tied on the wrist, and she is worshipped with these 108 names, a flower or a pinch of kumkum offered at each. Many women also read it on ordinary Tuesdays and Fridays.
