Haritalika Teej 2011| Festival of Women in Nepal

Haritalika Teej is one of the most important fasting festival for Hindu women. On the occasion of the Teej, women starve themselves for the whole day by singing and dancing near the temple of Lord Shiva making wishes the long life by the married women. While the unmarried women observe the fasting wishing to have a handsome husband and happy married life.
There is one ancient belief about the Teej that once Goddess Parvati had set intense austerities to get Lord Shiva as her husband and was also successful to make him her husband. And people believe that one who worships Lord Shiva and Parvati on the day, will receive bless from Goddess to make their married life more peaceful.
This year Teej is going to be celebrated on 31st August 2011.
