Teej festival of Pink City Jaipur is well known across the world and is an icon of Jaipur tourism. Teej festival is celebrated in Jaipur to welcome monsoon during Shraavan month (July-August) as per Hindu Calendar. On Teej festival, millions of devotees from whole Rajasthan participate in the auspicious rally of Teej Mata (Goddess Parvati). Teej Mata (Goddess Teej) is an incarnation of Goddess Parvati. This two days long festival is celebrated on the 3rd and 4th day of Shukla Paksha (bright fortnight) of Shravan Month. Bright fortnight symbolizes "Growth" hence the women of Rajasthan keep fast for the long life of their husbands while the men of Rajasthan offer their prayers to Teej Mata for good rain and crop. Hindu mythological significance of this festival is that after a long separation, Goddess Parvati reunited with her husband Lord Shiva. She gave a boon to this day that whoever do worship of Goddess Parvati on this day, Goddess Parvati will fulfill his/her wishes.
Parents of married women send "Sinjara" to their daughters on the day before Teej. Sinjara is a gift package which includes make-up stuff symbolizing her Suhaag (coverture), i.e. bindi, vermilion, mehandi or henna, bangles; Ghevar (a special disc shaped sweet), and Lahariya (a multi-color sari with zigzag pattern). After receiving those gifts from the parents home, a married lady decorates herself with henna, various ornaments, wears Lahariya sari and enjoy Teej fair with her husband, in-laws and relatives.
