Teej
is a holy festival for Hindu women in India. Women both married and
unmarried celebrate Teej Festival with immense devotion and faith. A
24-hours long fast is observed in which women do not even drink a drop
of water to ensure well-being of her husband. Through this dedicated
website on Teej Festival,
Society for the Confluence of Festivals in
India (SCFI), wishes to pay its tribute to the dedication of women
and devotion to Goddess Parvati. The society wishes to create awareness
about such an important festival of women and its celebration.
As a socially responsible manifestation,
Society for the Confluence
of Festivals in India endeavors to create value for the Indian
society by introducing the beauty, grace and wisdom embodied in the
various festivals of India, thereby preserving India's rich cultural
heritage. We bring unique customs, traditions and goodness of Indian
festivals to form a distinct association known as the Society for the
Confluence of Festivals in India. Through this organization, we hope to
form a mutual respect for and foster the common bond that various Indian
festivals share.
The great diversity of Indian religious beliefs is projected through
the various festivals that are celebrated in India. They arise from the
innate desire of man to seek diversion from humdrum activities that help
in symbolizing, reflecting and enriching social life in a specific
cultural setting. SCFI seeks to conserve and promote an awareness of
this rich and diversified cultural treasure amongst the citizen of this
country through various expositions that focus on the tradition of
excellence, conversing the famous legends, rituals, mythology and
philosophy of Indian Festivals and in turn facilitating an awareness of
their deeper and subtler values.
