TeeJ (July/Aug) : The celebrations of the festival
are different than the usual Teej festivities. Unlike Teej, which
is celebrated on the third day of the month of Shravana, Kajli Teej
is celebrated on the third day of the month of Bhadra.
An exuberant procession of Teej in a decorated palanquin, starts
from the beautiful Naval Sagar and culminates at the Azad Park.
Cultural performances by the local artistes as well as by artistes
from Hadoti region are part of the celebrations. Though the Teej
procession is carried out for only two days, the festivities continue
till the eighth day, finally ending on Janmashtami, the birth anniversary
of Lord Krishna.
