Teej Festival

Time: July-August
Place: Jaipur, Rajasthan

Teej is one of the most important and widely celebrated festivals of Rajasthan. Popularly referred to as the "festival of swings," Teej Festival is basically a festival of the womenfolk of Rajasthan, who celebrate the advent of monsoon showers. The Teej Festival in Rajasthan is dedicated to the Goddess Parvathi- the consort of Lord Shiva, as it's believed that after years of penance, goddess Parvathi was united to her consort on the auspicious occasion of Teej. On the occasion of Teej, young women folk dress in green clothes and sing heart-touching songs, while swinging on well-decorated swings hung on trees.

Teej is celebrated with great enthusiasm and fanfare in Jaipur. On the festive occasion of Teej, young girls and married women dress up in their best and pray for the well being of their husbands and martial bliss. On the festive occasion of Teej, the markets in Jaipur are decorated in beautiful designs and the whole Jaipur becomes colorful and vibrant. The beautifully ornamented idol of Goddess Parvathi is taken out in a grand procession in Jaipur for two consecutive days, which is attended by thousands of locals and tourists, making it a fascinating spectacle to view. The Teej Festival is celebrated on the third day of the bright lunar half of the month of Shravana, which normally falls in the month of July-August.
