Kajari Teej, also called Badi Teej, is a festival marked by folk songs (Kajris), fasting, and worship of Goddess Parvati for conjugal happiness.
Kajari Teej (Badi Teej)

Kajari Teej derives its name from the folk songs called Kajris, sung by women to express longing during the rainy season. Women observe fasts, worship Goddess Parvati, and sing traditional songs in groups, creating a vibrant cultural atmosphere. Unlike Hariyali Teej, which emphasizes greenery and swings, Kajari Teej emphasizes music and emotional expression. It is especially popular in Uttar Pradesh (Varanasi, Mirzapur), Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and parts of Rajasthan, where regional customs, singing, and group festivities mark the day.
