Significance of Kajari Teej
Women observe fasts to seek blessings from Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. While married women observe fasts on this day to wish for their husband’s healthy and prosperous life, some unmarried women also observe fasts to get their ideal spouse.
The festival is known to strengthen ties between husband and wife. Hence, it holds great significance in the lives of married couples. Women pray to a neem tree, wear colourful clothes during the fast and eat sattu to break their fast.
Married women perform Kajari Teej rituals from their maternal home as the term ‘Kajari’ implies the pain of brief separation from husband. They read the ‘Kajari Teej Katha’ on this day.
