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.
