Teej

Teej

Teej is a festival celebrated by Nepalese women eating delicious food, wearing red colour Sari and various jewelleries, dancing with Lok Geet (the typical Nepali songs), and fasting the next day wishing long life for their husband. Teej festival falls in August or September of the year. Ridgewood Nepalese Society offers Teej program party for free for Nepalese women as its sisters every year. This program is very important because many Nepalese women enjoy with this gathering as they cannot go their maternal home for this festival. This program is very attractive to the people with other cultures as it looks a procession of many people with the same colour dress and dances.
