Today was the festival called "Teej" it is the fasting festival for women.. The festival is a three-day long celebration that combines sumptuous feasts as well as rigid fasting. Through this religious fasting, Hindu women pray for marital bliss, well being of their spouse and children and purification of their own body and soul. The women all wear red saris and offer fruit and gifts to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parbati.
