Teej

The festival of Teej is celebrated all across the state of Rajasthan but the city of Kota has an innovative way of celebrating it. The festival is celebrated with pomp and happiness in homes and women visit homes of relatives and neighbors to wish each other. Teej is celebrated on the 3rd day of the Shravan Month.  There are small processions in the city where the goddess is carried around dressed in bright clothes. The women are seen in red or saffron outfits, especially the Kota fabric is seen in prominence. They are decked from head to toe in traditional attire and put mehndi on their hands.  Some processions are organized on a bigger scale too. Cultural programs are held in homes and small communities that add to the celebrations. Women come out on the terrace and see the moon and worship it. The festival is celebrated for the longer life of their spouses.
