Rajasthan Festival in August

In August, Rajasthan celebrates Teej Festival, a vibrant event especially prominent in Jaipur. Teej marks the arrival of the monsoon and is dedicated to the goddess Parvati. The festival is characterized by colorful processions, traditional music, and dance performances. Women dress in bright, traditional attire and participate in various rituals and ceremonies. Teej also includes the singing of folk songs, and the decoration of swings (jhoolas) under trees, where women gather to celebrate. The festival not only highlights the cultural richness of Rajasthan but also brings communities together in joyous celebration of the monsoon season.
