Teej Festival is a major festival celebrated in Jaipur, the capital city of the state of Rajasthan in India. The festival is dedicated to Goddess Parvati and is celebrated with great enthusiasm and zeal by women. It usually falls in the month of August or September, during the monsoon season.

During Teej, women dress up in colorful Rajasthani attire and adorn themselves with jewelry and mehndi (henna) on their hands. They also participate in various cultural activities such as folk dance and music performances, traditional games, and competitions.

The main highlight of Teej Festival is the grand procession of Goddess Parvati, also known as Teej Mata. The idol of Teej Mata is beautifully decorated and placed on a palanquin, which is carried by devotees on their shoulders. The procession also includes beautifully decorated elephants, camels, and horses, and is accompanied by music, dance, and fireworks.

Another important aspect of Teej Festival is the swings, or jhoolas, which are set up in parks and gardens across the city. Women of all ages enjoy swinging on these jhoolas, which are decorated with flowers and colorful ribbons.

Teej Festival is also a time for feasting and indulging in traditional Rajasthani delicacies such as ghevar, malpua, and dal bati churma.

Overall, Teej Festival is a vibrant and colorful celebration of Rajasthan’s rich culture and heritage, and is a must-see for anyone visiting Jaipur during this time.
