Teej is one of the most important and unique Hindu women’s celebrations. This event is devoted to Goddess Parvati, who married Lord Shiva following her devout prayers. This holiday is heavily founded on religious beliefs and has been observed by all women across the country for decades. This celebration takes place in Nepal during the month of September. It has its own celebration customs or traditions. Women become empowered on this day, and they congregate in big groups to entertain themselves with various folk songs and dances.
They pray at Lord Shiva temples nearby, but the majority of them flock to Pashupatinath Temple, where they stand in a long line. Teej is an ancient Nepalese celebration that is increasingly popular in both the modern metropolis and the village. On this day, both married and unmarried women fast for the entire day, not even putting a drop of water or a grain into their mouth. They feel that fasting is a symbol of sacrifices or prayer for their family’s well-being, as well as for their husband’s long life. On the other hand, they do have the opportunity to purify their bodies as well as their souls during this time.
This is one of their happiest and most memorable days because they are free of their daily work and worry and can spend quality time with another female companion. On this day, the red hue is prioritized, as ladies wear Red Sarees, Bright Bangles, Mehendi, and (Necklace), all of which are strides that completely beautify them. These items distinguish women in the Nepalese community, and they are especially prominent during this celebration.(READ MORE)
