According to mythology Teej is celebrated to mark the reunion of Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva. Goddess Parvati is said to have gone through severe reparation and took 107 births on the earth to finally unite with Siva. Waterless fast and sleepless nights spent by womenfolk are symbolic of Parvati’s hardship.

Kajari Teej, Haryali Teej and Hartalika Teej are the three types of Teej festival celebrated across the country. They are traditionally observed by women. Haryali Teej is celebrated on the third day of the Shraavana month of Hindu calendar. Kajarai teej is celebrated in Bhadrapud month of Hindu calendar. Hartalika Teej is celebrated on the third day Bhadrapud month of Hindu calendar.

Marking the start of monsoons and happiness, this festival is celebrated with great joy and colorful customaries throughout northern India.

Jaipur in Rajasthan especially organizes a fair for tourists and people coming from all over country to get a glimpse of all the customs and traditions associated with it.

Women buy beautiful sarees and jewellary, apply mehndi, offer prayers to goddess Parvati and enjoy the monsoons with swings and songs. There are also processions running throughout many cities that become a means of dance and fun for children and other people.


On the occasion of Teej, Dandia dances are arranged by professionals and performed in courtyards at home and in public places.

The young girls of the house who dress up in colourful saris, lehangas and chunris, also perform these dances.

   
  ¤The colourful dandas (sticks) moving in rhythmic beats, with each swing of the hands and feet, hitting either at one s own danda held in the other hand, or at the one held by the other dancers, are really beautiful to watch.

Girls with Henna on their hands and feet run about joyously and are excused from household chores on this day. Special Mehndi motifs also called laheria and ghewar are applied to match the mood of Teej.

On Teej, it is a must for the girls to receive clothes from their parents. Gifts comprising of set of heavy clothes, eatables, dry fruits, bangles, which is called as baya, for the first year after marriage is given to the newly weds. Girls engaged to be married, receive gifts from their future in-laws a day before thefestival. The gift, called Shrinjhara derived from the word shringar (adornment), consists of henna, lac bangles, a special dress of laheria (tie and dye fabric) and a sweet called ghewar. The pooja is performed in the morning. The baya which consists of a variety of foodstuff is placed on a thaali (plate) at the place of worship where a chowk (square) has been decorated, an idol or a picture of Parvati is installed. The evenings are set aside for singing and dancing.

Swings are hung from trees and decorated with flowers. Young girls and women colourfully attired, swing on them and sing songs in praise of the goddess and the monsoon. The gracefully ornamented and colourfully dressedwomen celebrate the day adding fun and frolic to it through their local gatherings. The hands crafted with Henna add into the beauty of the ladies and a popular belief that goes with it is that the darker the Henna the more a man loves his woman.
