Wishing all the married girls a very Happy Teej. :) Have a long day (and night) ahead without food or water. Wishing all the girls, who are fasting today all the luck. π
I have put Mehndi in both my hands. :happydance: I’ll post pics during the day.
Some info about the Teej festival. π
Teej is a popular festival in India celebrated by the Hindus in the month of Shravan (as per Hindu Calendar). Teej is primarily celebrated in Rajasthan, Punjab, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh and celebrates the arrival of monsoon after a long drawn out summer season. It is also said that Teej is a reunion festival dedicated to the re-union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. On the actual day of Teej married women pray to Goddess Parvati for the well being of their husbands. Fasting, colorful costumes, religious processions, song and dance are all striking features of the Teej festival in India. The religious procession associated with the festival of Teej are some of the most colorful and vibrant demonstrations of the Teej festival in India.
When is Teej Festival
Teej festival comes on the Hindu month of Shravan (July-August) and also in early September. The dates of celebrating the festival change every year according to the arrival of the monsoon. There are three kinds of Teej festival :
Hartalika Teej
This form of Teej is the most important Occasions during entire Teej festival celebrations. Hartalika Teej lasts for three days and women observe a fast on the second day that is called Nirjara Fast meaning ‘fast without water’. Hartalika Teej fast is observed with great devotion for the long life and prosperity of Husbands.

Hi Rati…the mehendi is beautiful….is this Karva Chauth kind of festival??
Happy Teej to you too π
yeah this is a karwachauth kinda festival vaishnavi. but i do both . π
Even I do both!! π But this is tougher than karwachauth…In karwachauth we break the fast at night after seeing the moon but Teej continues till next morning..so its more than 24 hours of fasting without water!!
Oh whoa…we dont have such a festival…but when I get married I want to do the karwa chauth once π
haan this is almost like a 30 hour fast- no water, no food. :(( yeah karwachauth is not that tough. :))

Good mng ppl. Me too fasting today. So a request to all sweet gals not to talk abt food today. Hehehe
hey good girl u r rati.. i cant stay hungry only, thirsty is too far off.. we call it just hartalika in maharashtra, and luckily we fast only one day. though i cant do that either. hunger pangs ka kya kare… but yes. this is invariably the day before ganesh chaturthi. happy teej tho. should do a detailed post on wat all u do on teej.
