Regarded as the festival
of swings and rains, the Rajasthan

of the freedom from the scorching heat. The rains
falling on the dry and arid land, along with the
delightful scent of the wet soil releases us from
the intolerable heat of the summers. In the Teej
Festival of Jaipur, Rajasthan,
young girls and women wear bright and colorful clothing.
They suspend swings, adorned with colorful flowers,
from the branches of trees. To welcome the monsoon
season, they also sing traditional songs and celebrate
its onset.
