Teejri is an annual Hindu religious practice where wives and unmarried women keep a day long fast. Mendhi is put on hands and feet.  Also  Traditionally women would swing in Jhulas, play games,  and sing songs. Married women do this for the good health and longevity of their husband. Unmarried girls also perform this custom in the belief they will will get good husbands. Women will only break their fast once they have seen the full moon.

A colourful Teejri Guide  is graciously assembled by Sandhya Panjwani.
