Teej is a Hindu festival celebrated by women
in the month of September/ October. The festival is observed for three days. On
the first day, married women fast for the longevity and prosperity of their
husband and unmarried women fast hoping for a good husband. The other two days
are followed by ritual puja to make Lord Shiva happy.
It is celebrated by singing and dancing. Women
dress in red Saris and wear different ornaments. And, they gather
together to dance and sing about womanhood. They visit their relatives and
enjoy various sweets before and after the fast.
