Teej is a Hindu festival celebrated by women, primarily in North India and Nepal, to honor the union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. It is observed on the third day of the bright half of the lunar month of Shravan (July/August) and the third day of the bright half of the lunar month of Bhadrapada (August/September). Women fast, dress in colorful traditional attire, and pray for marital bliss, prosperity, and well-being of their spouses. The festival involves various rituals, including singing, dancing, and offering prayers to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Teej symbolizes the bond of love and devotion between husband and wife.
