Teej Celebration In Nepal
A fasting Nepali Hindu woman dressed in red poses for a photo at Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal, on September 6, 2024, marking the festival of Teej. According to 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 celebrating the festival. According to the 'Skanda Puran' (a religious scripture of the Hindus), this festival is named 'Haritalika Teej' because, on this day in the 'Satya Yug' (golden epoch of truth), the daughter of the Himalayas, Parvati, is hidden by her maids due to 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. On the day of 'Teej,' women are seen dancing and singing in a carefree mood. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
