The Significance Of Kajari Teej
Celebrated three days after Raksha Bandhan, Kajari Teej is also known as Kajjali Teej that is observed by women for their husband's long life and eternal marital bliss. On this day, married women keep a day-long fast without water, breaking it only after offering Arghya to the Moon in the evening, similar to Karva Chauth.
It is believed that performing the rituals with devotion on Kajari Teej pleases Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Married women, as well as unmarried girls, worship the divine couple with the hope of being blessed with a good life partner and a long, prosperous married life.
Three Major Teej Festivals
There are three main Teej festivals celebrated throughout the year: Hariyali Teej, Hartalika Teej, and Kajari Teej. These festivals hold great importance for married women, who observe them for the happiness and longevity of their married life.
It is said that on Kajari Teej, if unmarried girls worship Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati with full devotion, they are blessed with a good husband and eternal marital bliss. The day is also associated with the legend of Goddess Parvati performing intense penance to win the love of Lord Shiva, who eventually accepted her as his wife.
Celebrating Kajari Teej with proper rituals and devotion is believed to remove all obstacles from one’s life, bringing joy and prosperity.
