Performing the Shiv-Parvati Gathbandhan ritual during the holy month of Sawan is believed to fulfill desires and ensure marital bliss. Shiv and Parvati symbolize the ideal couple, and tying their knot using a sacred thread (mouli) can remove marriage obstacles. The process involves cleansing the idols with Gangajal, offering clothes and makeup items, and chanting 'Om Namah Shivaya'. Devotees often perform this on Sawan Mondays to seek blessings for a peaceful and happy married life. Positive intent and donation after the ritual are considered highly auspicious. https://samacharnama.com/astrology/shiv-parvati-gathbandhan-vidhi-wishes-are-fulfilled-by/cid19063374.htm
