Teej
Teej is a traditional festival celebrated primarily in Nepal and parts of India, particularly among the Hindu community. It usually falls in the month of Bhadra (August-September) and is dedicated to the goddess Parvati. The festival marks the reunion of Parvati and her husband, Shiva, and is observed with various rituals, including fasting, singing, and dancing.
During Teej, women dress in vibrant red and green attire, symbolizing marital bliss and fertility. They participate in communal celebrations, often gathering in groups to sing folk songs and perform traditional dances. The festival emphasizes the importance of family, devotion, and the well-being of spouses.
