Images from a recent festival here called Teej. Welcoming the monsoon season and is celebrated primarily by girls and women, dress in red, with songs, dancing and prayer rituals.

Women pray to goddess Parvati seeking the wellness of their husband. They fast a full day for the long lives of their husbands. The single girls pray for a good loving partner.

Some locals were joking about it as saying it’s like Valentines day but different. Where only the women celebrate it, while the man watch.
