Teej

                                                          Teej
Teej is a generic name for a number of Hindu festivals that are celebrated by women mainly in Nepal and some parts of India. Hartalika Teej welcomes the monsoon season and is celebrated primarily by girls and women, with songs, dancing and prayer rituals.[2] The monsoon festival  of Teej are primarily dedicated to Goddess Parvati and her union with  Lord Shiva.

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 . The festivals for women, include dancing, singing, getting together with friends and telling stories, dressing up with henna-colored hands and feet, wearing red, green or orange clothes, sharing festive foods, and playing under trees on swings on Haryali Teej. The festivals are dedicated, in many parts of India and Nepal, to Parvati. "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. The monsoon festivals of Teej include Haryali Teej, Kajari Teej and Hartalika Teej. Teej festivals are traditionally observed by women to celebrate the monsoons, on the third day of the Indian month of Shravan, 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, children and their own self. The first day of teej is called Dar Khane Din .On this day womenfolk dressed in the finest clothed gather at one place and perform tradition dance and sing devotion songs.The second day or fasting day of the teej is dedicated to pujas or prayers. The thoird day of teej is called Rishi Panchami.  

It looks like a world of women devotee fasting hard for the longevity and prosperity of their men and family. Unique in a sense- women celebrate but worship a male deity and hardship of fasting women suffer is credited for well-being of men.
