Some of you have sent queries asking what items need to be within the Marada Bhagina for the Gowri Vrata. It is possible to get the above shown containers in Dollar stores or fancy item store. My Sister gives me the Bhagina every year. Like I have said many times, my In-Laws don’t have Swarna Gorwi Vrata. However, my Parents have it, and as a child I have seen my Mom perform this Vrata with utmost devotion.
So, listed below are the items to be put in the containers:
- Haldi Packet
- Kumkum Packet
- Gejje vastra
- Hoovu Bathi
- Adike – Betel Nuts
- Jaggery
- Sugar
- Rice
- All dals
- Salt
- Silk or any other texture Saree
- Blouse Piece
- Bangles
- Small Mirror, Comb
- Kobbari Battilu
- Rava
- Tamarind
The main goal of giving this bhagina is to make sure the lady who is receiving this is able to perform one days worth of Pooja and cook for a day as well with all the items given.

You can use it even now if you are able to find one in the US. I haven’t seen any Mora here.

ಬಾಗಿನ ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಬೇರೆ ಯಾವ ಉಡುಗೊರೆಗಳನ್ನು ಪರಸ್ಥಳದವರಿಗೆ ಕಳುಹಿಸಬಹುದು? ಉದಾ: ಬ್ಯಾಂಕ್ನವರು ಗೌರಿ ಹಬ್ಬದ ಉಡುಗೊರೆ ಎಂದು ಸ್ಕೀಮ್ ಮಾಡಿರುತ್ತಾರೆ.

I think it should be Ok. However, I myself ask my parents or other elders about these kinds of information. So, please consult someone who knows more about traditions.

Dear Meeraji
Thanks for your mails and updates you are giving. Ganesha and Gowrima will always bless you and your family.

I understand we should not give mora bagina to our own sisters or cousin sisters.

Yes, someone outside your relatives. I would suggest someone who is actually deserving of getting some help. If you are in India, you can find many ladies like the wives of Poojaris, wives of cooks. They are in need of some help, and it would really benefit.
