Ladies residing at Bergen, Norway celebrated holy festival "TEEJ". It was the first day of 3-day long festival. Ladies gathered, and performed dances with TEEJ songs.
Through this religious fasting, hindu women pray for marital bliss, wellbeing of their spouse and children and purification of their own body and soul. It takes place on Tritiya of Bhadra. TEEJ is celebrated for three days and each day has its own significance.
1. First day is called 'Dar Khane Din', the day to make merry.
2. Second day is a 'fasting day'.
3. The third day is called 'Rishi Panchami' in Nepal which is a day to
perform Teej Puja.
Along with this this is the festival of delicious food, songs and dances. Women fashion in red color and --of warm wishes shared among the loved ones. For Nepali women in particular, Teej, at the least, is the festival of the their identity. I have captured clips from that performances.
