Teej 2009

Veiw of Woman on Teej

"The celebration of Teej will be as usual. While celebrating it we women are praying for peace in the country. But rising price of commodities is a matter or worry."
Laxmi Bista











"There will be a lot of dancing and singing during Teej. Instead of trying to confine this festival within the womenfolk we should try to celebrate it in a way it promotes peace and happiness in the family and society."
Sita Poudel




RED IS THE COLOUR: Women wearing red garbs throng the Pashupatinath premises in Kathmandu on the occasion of Teej festival. Nepali Hindu women worship Lord Shiva this day and celebrate the festival with reverence and gusto, praying for the prosperity of their families.

Holi, the colourful festival

The Fagu festival or Holi is being celebrated in mainly hilly areas of the country with people smearing red vermilion powder and throwing color and water-filled balloons at each other Tuesday. The biggest festival of colours in Nepal and other parts of South Asia, Holi begins on the eighth day of the new moon in the month of Falgun and ends with the burning of the 'Chir', which is installed earlier, on the full moon day. People in Nepal, India and around the world smear colors at each others face and exchange greetings during Holi celebrations.
