The monsoon festival of Teej celebrates fertility, nature and community life. In Jaipur, Teej acquires a special regal touch with public processions involving the whole city in a riot of colour and zest. The idol of Teej mata, goddess Parvati travels through the city and lord Shiva’s majestic presence completes this festival of union.
Our teej special tour to Jaipur is designed to soak in this special celebration of colour, life, and togetherness, as well as a to give you a flavour of this grand city with its teeming markets, rich food, diverse craft traditions and the extraordinary Krishna temples of the city.
