Teej is celebrated in Haryana, Rajasthan, Punjab, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh in India. It falls on the third day after the new moon of the Shraavana or Saawan month of Hindu calendar in late July to early August. Dedicated to the Goddess Parvati, commemorating her union with Lord Shiva, the festival is celebrated for marital bliss, well-being of spouse and children and purification of ownbody and soul. The festival is a three-day-long celebration that combines sumptuous feasts as well as rigid fasting.(Source-Wikipedia)
