TEEJ AT #MUKTIDHAM SCHOOL |
According to Hindu mythology Pārbati was in love with Shiva. Being an ascetic Lord Shiva was not aware of her. Pārbati performed penance on the Himalayas for many years and finally Shiva took notice of her. Then Lord Shiva came to know about her love and devotion towards him and agreed to marry her. Since then Pārbati has been worshipped as Haritalika.
Unmarried girls keep the fast and pray to Goddesses Pārbati
in hope to get good husbands. Hartalika Teej Brata ब्रत is
observed by both married and unmarried women. Married women keep the Brat in
order to achieve happy and peaceful married life. Married ladies come back to
their parent’s home to celebrate the festival. Some even maintain Nirjala Brata
(without water) on these three days and refrain from sleep all the three days.
This is symbolic of the penance which Goddesses Pārbati undertook to get Shiva
as her husband. During the Brat food is being offered to Brahmins and young
girls.
Teej is also the time to adorn oneself with new clothes and
jewelry. In Nepal women wear green clothes, green bangles, golden Bindis and Kajal
for luck. Applying mehndi on hands and feet is one of the unique features of Teej celebrations. They offer fresh fruits and
green vegetables to the goddesses and beautifully painted coconut to their
female relatives. After the rituals get over women take a feast of rice patolis
and jaggery steamed in banana leaves, mixed vegetables cooked with spices and
coconut milk, a sweet made from coconut milk and rice. Tender coconut water is
taken as a treat of the day.
