Currently, Vishnu Majhi's new Teej song 'Ma Ta Narauri' is very popular on social networks and media. Bishnu Majhi has been behind the scenes for a long time, but her Teej song every year has a different message. Majhi, who presented the pain of not being able to go to the dead in last year's song, this time compared herself to the society and portrayed the reality of the society through the song 'Ma Ta Narauri'.

Can't say bad in the current environment. Again, while we are sitting in Kathmandu or in the city, watching and listening to this song, although we find it difficult, we have taken it as a message song as a whole, because the distant story is woven well.

Teej is an important festival of Nepali women. Eating on Teej has become widespread now. According to the date, on the day of Bhadra Shukla Tritiya, we worship Lord Shiva and observe the fast of Hindu women's Teej. The story of Parvati, the daughter of the Himalayas fasting to ask Lord Shiva to get a husband in the ancient times is seen in connection with the festival of Teej. 

At a time when there were no transport and communication facilities like today, Chelibeti could reach Maiti's house yard only once a year. Getting married at a young age was a great achievement. There was pain at home. The desire to pour out pain, share feelings, visit relatives, and eat sweet and savory food was associated with the festival of Teej. But now the environment has changed. There is an open sky. Today's Teej is associated with women's empowerment, women's rights and women's struggle.

Overall, Teej is not just a festival but its social, economic, cultural and psychological impact is very wide. From a sociological point of view, this festival is not only limited to religious devotion, it has also become synonymous with collective identity and collective expression of Nepali women. 

A cultural story honoring women's 'determination' and 'patience' is the mainstay of this festival. This festival has been popular in Nepal for centuries, especially in the hilly areas, which has established its own unique identity by mixing with the local culture.

Teej is also an important occasion for collective gathering of women. A married woman returns to her family and meets with her mother, sisters and friends. This reconciliation is not only for joy, but also an opportunity to share the joys of life with loved ones, strengthen family and social ties.

Teej has been helping to strengthen women's social capital in rural areas. In urban areas, Teej's song and dance programs provide women with an opportunity to spend time with their friends while taking some time off from their busy lives. The time has come for us women and sisters to pay attention to this. Teej is naturally a 'women-centric festival'. In it, women dress up in special clothes – red saree, green chura, pote and teeka. On the one hand, this tradition reaffirms the patriarchal thinking that gives high value to marriage and married life. But we should not forget that women have also got the freedom to celebrate their beauty from the other side. 

According to sociological studies, this tradition is called 'cultural reproduction', in which values, beliefs and gender roles are passed from one generation to the next. But in recent years, many women's organizations have started using Teej as a platform for women's empowerment.

One of the main attractions of Teej is dancing. Traditionally, in Teej songs, women used to express their life experiences, hardships, love and memories of their loved ones. At that time, Teej's songs became the voice of the pain of Nepali sisters, while they reflected the reality of life faced by women within the patriarchal structure. But now in modern times these songs have started to include humor, political messages and demands for women's rights. It is also important to understand that cultural festivals change over time and can become a means of social awareness.

Economically speaking, shopping increases during festivals like Teej, Dasain, Tihar and the economy is active. Teej is not only a religious or cultural festival but also seems to be deeply intertwined with the market economy.

Now that Nepali sisters have reached every corner of the world, Nepali women living in the diaspora are also celebrating this festival in a grander way. While giving an opportunity to preserve their culture, language and tradition, Teej programs abroad have also become a means of connecting the new generation with Nepali culture, instilling a sense of unity in the community. Teej is not just a religious or cultural celebration, it is a living example of women's identity, collectivity, gender roles and cultural continuity in Nepali society. By understanding its sociology, we can see not only the traditions of the past, but also the consciousness of the present and the possibilities of the future. It is our collective responsibility to make Teej a festival of women's freedom and equality in true sense.
