    Teej Celebration In Nepal

    Teej Celebration In Nepal

    Fasting Nepali Hindu devotees rush towards Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal, on September 6, 2024, to perform rituals on the occasion of the Teej festival. As per tradition, women on this third day of the dark half of the lunar month that falls in the Nepali month of Bhadra observe fasting and wish for a prosperous life while observing the festival. According to the 'Skanda Puran' (a religious scripture of the Hindus), this festival gets the name 'Haritalika Teej' as it is on this very day in the 'Satya Yug' (golden epoch of truth) that the daughter of the Himalayas, Parvati, is hidden by her maids because of her refusal to marry Lord Vishnu. A day before 'Teej' on the night of the second day of the fortnight in the month of Bhadau, women enjoy a variety of dishes known as 'Dar' at their parental home where they are especially invited for this purpose. The women on the day of 'Teej' are seen dancing and singing in a carefree mood. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
