Teej festival is celebrated all over the state with each region having
its own unique touch. Kajli Teej of Bundi is different in several ways- while
Teej is celebrated on the third day of the month of Shravana, in Bundi it is celebrated
on the third day of the month of Bhadra.
The festival starts with the
procession of goddess Teej in a decorated palanquin from the beautiful Naval Sagar.
It passes through the main bazaars and terminates at Azad Park. The procession
has decorated elephants, camels, bands, performing artists and colourfully dressed
people.
The people who gather here from surrounding areas also get to
watch and participate in the cultural programmes that are organised in the evenings.
it provides a very good chance to see performances by local artists from Hadoti
region.
Though the main function of Teej is held only on two days, the
celebrations continue upto Janmashtami, which marks the birth of Lord Krishna.
