Chiffon: Red Teej Saree in Nepal

Teej is a festival celebrated by Hindu women for marital bliss and for the long life of their husbands. Haryali Teej and Hartalika Teej welcome the monsoon season and are celebrated primarily by girls and women, with songs, dancing and prayer rituals. The festival is a three-day-long celebration that combines sumptuous feasts as well as rigid fasting. Teej also celebrates the arrival of monsoon after a season of oppressive heat. “Teej” literally is a small red insect that comes out of the soil during rainy season.

The first day of ‪Teej‬ is called ‪Dar Khane‬ Din. On this day the women, both married and unmarried, mainly of Khas ethnicity, assemble for the Teej songs and dances, in their finest attire (wedding saris or other red fineries).The second day is the fasting day.
