Teej

The 3rd day of the Shrawan month, the day of 'surangi'(colorful)Teej; middle of rainy season; greenery all around; rows and columns of dark clouds disbursing rains everywhere. The festival celebrates the youthfulness of the nature and humanity. The newlywed daughters are brought to their parental homes. They, singing folk songs on the theme of love and nature, go to village ponds and take bath. Young ladies in pairs can be seen taking ride on "Jhula" (swing made from grass rope, two ropes suspended from a branch of a tree and tied to a foot board to stand on). Kheer is cooked in every home.

There is a popular saying in Rajasthani Language about Gangaur:

Teej tyoharan bawri, le dubee gangaur (तीज त्योंहरा बावड़ी हाड़ो ले डूबी गंगोर) means festivals begin with Teej and end with Gangaur. It speaks chronology of Hindu festivals.
