The festival of Teej, which has traditional, mythological and religious beliefs, is a festival of special importance for Hindu women. This festival starts with eating on the day of Bhadra Shukla II, fasting on the day of Bhadra Shukla Tritiya, fasting on Ganesh Chaturthi and worshiping Saptarishi on Panchami.

Considering the traditional form of Teej festival, it has its own originality and tradition. It is a tradition of Teej to make married daughters, bachelorettes and sisters happy by inviting them to Maiti and Mavali houses and feeding them sweet food and buying new clothes. When they gathered in their respective birth homes, childhood friends and sisters who met after a long time used to tell the stories of pain, sorrow, pain and separation that they experienced in their husband's house in that environment through songs. 

Due to various obstacles in the environment of that time, Teej used to be the only festival in the case of long-term family oppression and divorce, in which Maiti and Mavali would come and take their daughters with Maita and Maval. It is believed that during this Teej festival, the daughters-in-law of those days used to relieve not only mental pain throughout the year but also physical fatigue by eating sweets and resting. 

In the society at that time, this festival had more recognition and importance than today. It was a festival of entertainment along with social harmony and family reunions. Teej was a medium of communication and a festival of women's unity. Although he could not tell his relatives about the pains he had experienced, the information was conveyed by singing in the form of songs in the group. Sharing the joys and sorrows made the common pain felt by everyone seem normal and it was easy to deal with the situation. In the society at that time when communication was not fully developed, Teej's songs used to describe social events and situations along with the pains and sufferings of daughters-in-law throughout the year. Songs based on special events were sung and hummed for months. 

Teej was a festival where daughters-in-law, who never get to eat sweet and favorite food even after working all year round, could go to Maiti and eat it after months of anxious waiting. Teej was an opportunity to wear new clothes. Teej was the festival of singing songs of sorrows and sorrows of the year. Teej was a festival that symbolically raised the voice of women's liberation and women's empowerment in the then totalitarian society. Although religious and mythological beliefs have their own characteristics, every festival, festival and tradition is directly related to the depiction of the society of the time and the people of the society.

Religious, mythological stories and legends connected with such festivals and festivals are trying to give some message for society and human life. Likewise, it can be understood that there is a very poignant and positive message for women within the religious and mythological Shiva-Parvati story of Haritalika Teej. 

The mythological story of Shiva-Parvati has given many messages cognitively. The events depicted in the story can and should be scientifically reinterpreted. 

The decision of the Himalayan mountains to accept the marriage proposal brought by Narada to Vishnu without understanding the mood of his beloved daughter clearly depicts the patriarchal society of the time. Where men have complete control and authority over women. Years of rigorous austerities and Parvati's inability to present her intentions to her parents illustrate the limits, boundaries, control of sexuality and strict discipline imposed on women's movement.

After Parvati tells her friends about her wish, all her friends understand the mood of their friend and release her from her father's bond and hide her secretly in the forest. Parvati's inability to accept Vishnu, who is considered as the form of Parambraham, as her future husband has exposed the truth that a woman is happy to have a life partner that her heart prefers over wealth, omnipresence, universality, and prestige. Parvati's desire for Lord Shiva and finally getting the desired groom symbolizes the theme of a girl's right to choose her future husband, self-determination.

The Himalayan mountains considering Vishnu as a worthy groom over Lord Shiva reflects not only the paternal mood of a father who is concerned about his daughter's future and wants to ensure her future, but also the stubbornness and will of a weak woman in front of her masculinity.

If you look at the mythological and religious context of Teej, you can see and hear that many aspects of the story are practiced in the traditional Nepalese society. In the traditional patriarchal society, men or fathers of the house look for a suitable groom for their children, when someone chooses a life partner for himself, such a relationship is not accepted in the society and family, no matter how capable and good the social prestige is, caste, class and religion give special importance in the selection of the bride and groom. 

In the traditional Teej song, you can hear stories of people who are happy when they come to pick up their spouses and are sad when they don't remember their spouses. The chelibeti collected in Maiti were fed with sweet and savory food from the available ingredients and various vegetables, pickles and milk dishes until they died. Even in the traditional Teej song, it is mentioned that milk dishes such as burnt copper, githa, karkala, potato pickle, milk, curd, ghee, kheer, dakni, khuwa, bread and fruits are allowed to be eaten.
