When the rains come down, spirits soar high in celebration.
Song & dance mark the gaiety of the Teej Festival celebrated
in Jaipur. Teej is held every year during the Hindu Month
of Shravan and marks the advent of the monsoons. While the
rains quench the thirst of the land and every tree turns
a lush green, every flower blooms in gay abandon, the young
girls, the newly married lasses, the married womenfolk all
pray to Goddess Parvati to bless them with good husbands
and thereafter to give them conjugal bliss and happiness.

Procession

The fair is dedicated to Goddess Parvati and commemorates
the day when she was united with Lord Shiva. Young girls,
newly wedded girls and old women can be seen attired in
flashy traditional costumes and ornaments. Basically a women's
festival, it is interesting to watch them enjoying in groups
all over the city and in the colourful bazars.
|
|
Ample arrangements are made for the tourist for the bird's
eye view of the procession.The Teej idol is covered with
a canopy whereas the Gangaur idol is open.
