Indirapuram: Teej festivies in societies

Teej culminated in vibrant social gatherings at Ghaziabad societies. A lot of enthusiasm was seen among the women in Nirala Eden and Amapalli village residential societies. Women organised Teej parties, dressed up, and played games.
The Hariyali Teej is an important festival for all Hindu ladies and girls. It signifies the end of the summer and the beginning of the monsoon. Gifts are exchanged within families. Women wear green clothes and enjoy swings. Married girls receive Singhara, a collection of presents given to daughters by their parents.
