Teeyan is one of Punjab's most cherished traditional festivals, celebrated primarily by women during the monsoon season. It is marked by vibrant attire, the rhythm of the giddha (folk dance), folk songs, swings, and joyful community gatherings. Historically, Teeyan has symbolised sisterhood, joy, and cultural bonding. Bringing this festival to Maharashtra for the first time is a step towards cultural integration and promoting India's incredible diversity.
