| Description |
The Teej Festival celebrates the coming of the monsoons that bring the rains essential for the crops and the kingdom’s prosperity. The timely arrival of the rains was considered divine confirmation of the king’s just rule. Traditionally during this festival, women and girls play on swings. In the river, girls swim with brass pots used for flotation, along with men, horses, and cows. As the person of highest rank, the king is the largest of all the figures, riding on a gorgeously ornamented horse. |
