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.
