A blissful life, progress & prosperity for the husband; good fortune for oneself and purification of body and soul, these are the desires of Hindu women. For an unmarried woman, it is about having good, loving and caring husband. The completion of ritual performances during the 'Teej' ensures all these desires. On the first day of the three days celebration, a group of women gather at places nearby temples in their finest attires. During the day, songs, music and grand feast begins 'til midnight and onward women undergo a 24 hrs fast. The next day, women wearing crimson sarees decorated with jewellery go to the Pashupatinath temple in Kathmandu and revolve around. On the way to Pashupatinath temple, they sing and dance along the streets. The third/last day of the festival is called Rishi Panchami. On that day, women who have undergone a fast pay homage to various deities situated on the bank of sacred river called 'Saali" river in Sankhu, a small town located at east of Kathmandu. The festival is celebrated by Hindu women. An official holiday is announced only for women.
