It is a good thing to have a sense of devotion towards each other. That feeling should be between every member of the family. Just because a woman is a woman doesn't mean she has to fast hard for men. Superstitious devotion makes women unhealthy, which is a loss for the family as well.

Due to the integration of communities through migration, inter-caste marriages, social networks and media, the festivals we celebrate are not limited to any one place or community but are celebrated among all castes, ages and gender groups. In this sense, Haritalika Teej has become a social festival not only for Hindu women but for all.
Teej of the year 2082 has already arrived at home and yard. Especially through social media, you can see the splendor of Teej inside and outside the country. Teej is a women's festival according to Hindu religion. But now it seems that women, men, children and senior citizens are all celebrating Teej as a social festival.
was traditionally exclusive to women. Married women had to wait for the day when their distant relatives would come to pick them up on Teej. No media, no transportation facilities like today. You have to wait for the festival to go to Maiti and meet your friends. Since the family responsibilities were many and the in-laws were far away, it was an opportunity for women to gather in the house-courtyard from Teej Krishnashtami, to gather in the generation to share good deeds, dance and share joys and sorrows among friends.
At this time, when different environments, media and especially mobile phones are available, there is no need to wait too long to express your feelings. Therefore, groups of women who gather in small and large groups can also celebrate Teej by exchanging ideas about the role that women can play for social change based on their own folk culture according to the current situation. Gender equality, women's awakening, women's education and opportunities, social justice, women-men cooperation etc. can be discussed.
Traditional Teej songs were creative. In addition to their sorrows and joys, the songs sung by women on Teej reflected various problems of the society, floods, events that happened in the society, etc. Such songs were composed in their own folk language. We can practice celebrating Teej by molding the same creativity in a new way.
Today's Teej is becoming very hectic and unhealthy competition. The time has come for women to be aware of this. According to feminist researcher Ann Oakley, in the process of socialization, children follow all the activities of adults. That's why we have to be responsible. Red color is considered to be a symbol of victory and courage. But we should be able to be open to celebrate Teej by wearing clothes of any color according to the wishes of the person.
In today's times, wearing jewelery is a fear of putting yourself at risk, so you can celebrate Teej without jewellery. It was different when we ate chamre made with seasonal vegetables grown by ourselves, ghiraunla, bodi, ramtoria, potatoes and non-imported rice and ghee. But now expensive party palace Teej is trending. It is very important to discourage such practices and go towards the practice of celebrating Teej by eating healthy food.
It is a good thing to have a sense of devotion towards each other. That feeling should be between every member of the family. Just because a woman is a woman doesn't mean she has to fast hard for men. Superstitious devotion makes women unhealthy, which is a loss for the family as well. The real dedication and fasting is to have a respectable situation for everyone by dividing the work in the house equally. However, we have to learn to celebrate Teej in a scientific way by improving the work of staying without drinking water in the name of fasting, which hurts the body.
Rishipanchami is a topic we all know. It is important to learn that bathing and brushing teeth should not be done once 365 times a year, but that attention should be paid to hygiene every day. Worshiping a sage is also worshiping knowledge. Therefore, it can be taken as gaining new knowledge in time. As
Teej is becoming a social festival, it also needs to be updated with time. Men's cooperation is also necessary in this. According to feminist writer RW Connell, collective identity and processes are human-made and can be changed as needed. A change that benefits all genders and makes the world a better place. This change is possible through the efforts of both men and women. For the transformation of society, it is necessary to transform Teej with a new definition.
