Teej is a festival of Nepali women, which celebrates a happy marriage, prosperity and family values. On this day women visit temples to pray for well-being of their husbands and children and for purification of their own soul. Dressed in scarlet clothes, women of all ages visit the temple of Lord Shiva. The red colour is traditionally worn by brides and it also symbolises power. On this day, all women look especially pretty in their best outfits—red sari with gold ornaments and green bead necklaces. There is a festive spirit all around the temple as women are singing, dancing and celebrating. Happy Teej 2019, and let’s celebrate together locally!
