Kota: In commemoration of the conquest of the richly-jewelled idol of goddess Teej by Bundi's Hada king from a royal procession in Jaipur, the traditional and grand procession with the goddess Teej idol marched through Bundi city Tuesday late evening, kicking off the 15-day Teej Fair, organised by Bundi municipal council at Kumbha stadium.
The city transformed into a vibrant canvas of magnificent tradition and royal heritage as the procession set out from Balchandpada, where the civic body's chairperson Saroj Agrawal, accompanied by a large gathering of citizens, public representatives and officials, performed traditional rituals and worship of the idol of goddess Teej.
A cavalcade, with elephants, horses, carts, artists playing traditional and folk musical instruments, and striking jhankis on the theme of social and religious subjects, marched through the main markets of the city before concluding at Kumbha Stadium late in the night.
Groups of folk artists in traditional attires dancing in the procession were another attraction.
People from the city and nearby villages assembled in lines on both sides of the routes that the procession passed through, some of them managing to secure places on rooftops of houses on the way.
The 15-day fair includes cultural and entertainment programmes such as Star Night, Kavi Sammellan, Mushaira, etc.
