Teej

Description

Red velvet mite (Trombidium), also called Teej, appears during the monsoon season.[2] It is unclear if the mite is named after the festival, or vice versa.
Teej refers to the monsoon festivals, observed particularly in western and northern states of India, Nepal, and in some Southern states of India such a Telangana. The festivals celebrate the bounty of nature, arrival of clouds and rain, greenery and birds with social activity, rituals and customs.[3]
The festivals for women, include dancing, singing, getting together with friends and telling stories, dressing up with henna-coloured hands and feet, wearing red, green or orange clothes, sharing festive foods,[3] and playing under trees on swings on Haryali Teej.[4]
The festivals are dedicated, in many parts of India and Nepal, to Parvati.[3]

The types of Teej

"Teej" refers to the "third" day that falls every month after the new moon (Amavasya), and the third day after the full moon night of every month.[5] The monsoon festivals of Teej include Haryali Teej, Kajari Teej and Hartalika Teej.[6]
Teej festivals are traditionally observed by women to celebrate the monsoons, on the third day of the Indian month of Shravan,[2] and on the third days of the waning and waxing moon of the Indian month of Bhadrapada . Women also pray to goddess Parvati seeking the wellness of their husband,[7][8] children and their own self.[2]

Haryali Teej

Haryali Teej is celebrated on the third day of the bright half of the North Indian Lunar month of Shraavana. As Shraavana (or Saawan) month falls during monsoon or rainy season when the surroundings become green, the Shraavana Teej is also called Hariyali Teej (Green Teej). A fast is kept and the focus is the moon.

It was a afternoon show that's why we started our foot journey to Gaushala at around 1: 30 pm. and reached there after about 20 minutes. Before the act, we were instructed some points about it and also played 2 of the mind game. From the first second of the act, everyone was enjoying very much. It was more comedy and less emotional act. We laughed very much throughout the act. I think the actors had practised a lot for the act because they told their script so well that it entertained a lot. The changing of scenes were also managed so well in short time. It was combined with very good live mu...
