Sūtsava (सूत्सव) refers to a “great festive (mood)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.40 (“The Marriage Procession of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Thus, lord Śiva, accompanied by his Gaṇas, gods and others, went to the city of Himagiri for the celebration of His marriage. O great sage, listen to another incident that happened when Śiva, the lord of all, went for his marriage along with the gods and others. Rudra’s sister Caṇḍī assuming a great festive mood (sūtsava-saṃyuta) came there with great pleasure but inspiring terror in others. [...]”.
