Teej Festival, Jaipur :- This festival of swings marks
the advent of the monsoon month of Shravan(August). The monsoons
bring the water to the parched land and the scent of wet earth
rises intoxicatingly in the air. Swings are hung from trees and
decorated with flowers. Young girls sing songs of love and rain.
This festival is dedicated to goddess Parvati, commemorating the
day when she was united with the Lord Shiva.
