Teej Festival is observed in Nepal and is dedicated to the Hindu goddess Parvati and her union with Lord Shiva. It recurs every year on the third day after the new moon during the Bhadrapada month, which typically falls in August or September. Teej is a generic term for several festivals celebrated by women for the well-being of their spouses, with Hartalika Teej being the most prominent. This three-day festival involves various customs; the first day is marked by singing, dancing, and feasting, where men host the festivities, allowing women to enjoy an official non-working holiday. The second day is dedicated to fasting, where married women fast for their family's prosperity, while unmarried women fast in hopes of finding a good husband. The final day includes purification rituals performed by women. Teej is designated as a public holiday in Nepal, emphasizing its cultural and religious significance.
