Kajli
Teej, Bundi ( AUG - SEP )
Teej festival, the celebration of the monsoons (July-Aug), is celebrated all
over the state with each region having its own unique touch. Kajli Teej of Bundi
is different in several ways-while Teej is celebrated on the third day of the
month of Shravana, in Bundi it is celebrated on the third day of the month of
Bhadra. The festival starts with the procession of goddess Teej in a decorated
palanquin from the beautiful Naval Sagar. It passes through the main bazaars
and terminates at Azad Park. The procession has decorated elephants, camels,
bands, performing artists and colourfully dressed people.
This is the time to renew the ties of fidelity for married couples in Rajasthan,
and special sweetmeats, and swing rides are characteristic of it. The people
who gather here from surrounding areas also get to watch and participate in
the cultural programmes that are organised in the evenings. It provides a very
good chance to see performances by local artists from Hadoti region. Though
the main function of Teej is held only on two days, the celebrations continue
upto Janmashtami, which marks the birth of Lord Krishna.
