What is meaning of Marathi name Gouri?

Answer 1

in Hindi its mean name of laxmi devi.

The word gourI is Sanskrit and means "one who is extremely fair in complexion". This is an epithet of pArvatI, shiva's consrit. True it should be applicable for lakShmI too as we know She was the beautiful woman who appeared to rise from the Ocean of Milk while it was being churned for amR^ita. But popularly it is taken of an epithet of pArvati only. What then is the complexion of Shiva? There are instances where artists show Shiva as dark. It is not in line with the sacred texts. One must set aside texts of vedAntic import when we are kind of looking for descriptions, for the intent of vedAnta and purANa are different. Hence shiva's complexion as per the shloka: karpUragouraM... is whiite as camphor. Well, if one would like o conceive of the Indescribable God as within our grasp then one is forced to make it by super-exaggerating it ...

gourI(Sanskrit) is the tatsama of gorI(Hindi) [= failr complexioned]..
