is said to be the festival of swings, which are hung from the trees and
decked with flowers. The festival is mainly for the maidens and ladies
who dress themselves in green clothes and sing songs. They worship
Goddess Parvati for conjugal bliss and marital happiness. A huge
procession is taken out in Jaipur in which the idol of Teej is covered
with a canopy while the Gangaur idol (representing Goddess Parvati) is
open.
