Festive Togetherness

The Teej festival has long been a symbol of marital devotion, where women fast for the well-being and longevity of their husbands. The festival evokes images of married women adorned in bright red saris with bangles, vermillion, and beaded necklaces, observing a strict fast, which has traditionally been seen as an expression of a wife's love and sacrifice. However, in recent years, Teej has begun to embrace a more inclusive spirit, reflecting the feeling of togetherness between husband, wife and beloved persons.
