The
women in Jaipur, Rajasthan, celebrate the festival of Teej. According to legend
it is believed that on this day goddess Parvati was united with Lord Shiva after
completing a penance of a hundred years. Rajasthani women believe that the invocation
of Parvati's blessings on this day will lead to marital bliss. Young girls who
are engaged to be married in Rajasthan receive a gift pack called shrinjhara
from their in-laws. This gift pack consists of henna, bangles, a special dress
made of tie and dye fabric and a sweet. The festival of Teej heralds the onset
of monsoons, in Jaipur, Rajasthan.
