Teej (Teeyan in Punjabi) Festival Celebration
Teej (Teeyan in Punjabi) is a vibrant festival celebrated by women in Northern India, marking the onset of the monsoon season (July-August). This festival is dedicated to daughters, sisters, and mothers, symbolizing the joy and beauty of the rainy season.
