TeejTeej celebrates the onset of the monsoon. Held every year during the Hindu month of Shravan (August), it is popular among women in North India, especially Rajasthan. Swings are hung from trees and decorated with flowers. Women swing on them, dressed in festive finery, singing songs in praise of Goddess Parvati, whose divine union with Lord Shiva is considered exemplary. Sweets like ghevar and laddoo are prepared. Young girls pray for good husbands and new brides for conjugal bliss.
