Photograph of unidentified individuals with Sandy Rakhra at a Teeyan celebration event at Fraserview Banquet Hall, in Vancouver, British Columbia (B.C.) on June 10, 2001.
Teeyan, also known as Teej, is a festival observed primarily by women in the northern regions of India, including Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, and Madhya Pradesh. It takes place annually during the months of July or August, marking the beginning of the monsoon season. The festival is associated with religious observance and social gathering, particularly among newly married and unmarried women. Participants celebrate by adorning themselves in traditional attire and taking part in rituals dedicated to Goddess Parvati. The festival involves prayers for the well-being and longevity of husbands or future spouses and includes regional customs that vary by state.
Sandy Rakhra has been a Case Manager and Employment Counselor at the WorkBC Employment Services Centre, Vancouver South, since March 1997, providing employment support services and guidance to clients for over 28 years.
