Teej fest this year to feature women's craft & cultural fair

1 2 Jaipur: Teej Festival in the city is poised for a transformative celebration this year. Scheduled for July 27 and 28, it will feature not only the traditional Shahi Sawari of Teej Mata, but also a women-oriented craft and cultural fair. An initiative of the state's tourism department, the fair will highlight and celebrate the creative and economic contributions of women. The fair is set to take place at Pondrik Park opposite Talkatora Lake from 12 noon till 10pm on both days. Officials said it will be exclusively organised by women and will showcase stalls, performances, and exhibits managed by women entrepreneurs, artisans, and self-help groups from across Rajasthan. Curated with the concept of "by women, for women", the fair promises a vibrant atmosphere where attendees can explore handicrafts, regional cuisine, and the living traditions of Rajasthan. An official from the tourism department said the fair is part of a broader effort to integrate women into mainstream cultural and economic events. "The fair provides them an opportunity to present their work, tell their stories, and earn income," the official said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like You Won't Believe the Price of These Dubai Apartments Binghatti Developers FZE Get Offer Undo The choice of Pondrik Park as the venue is symbolic, as it is the traditional resting point of the Shobha Yatra where bhog is offered to Teej Mata. This year, the Shahi Sawari will culminate at the park, and the bhog ceremony will take place as per ritual. Deputy CM Diya Kumari is expected to join the women at the venue and personally offer bhog to the goddess, deepening the community connection.
