Teej
he festival of Teej is celebrates the onset of the monsoon in the month of Shravana - month of August. The day commemorates the event of Parvati leaving the home of her parents as a bride and Shiva coming to fetch her.
The word 'Teej' denotes the tritiya tithi. Three kinds of Teej are celebrated. These are the Haryali Teej, the Kajari Teej and the Hardtalika Teej. What distinguishes one Teej from another differs from area to area, but broadly, on Haryali Teej, the moon is prayed to, while on Kajri Teej there is a community pooja of neem and women gather to sing songs. The pooja is done with milk, curd and flowers. A three-day fast is kept for the Hartalika Teej, the more stringent fast being on the second day, when even water is not drunk.
