The Hariyali Teej festival is celebrated by women of all faiths and lasts from the third day of the bright half of the lunar month of Sawan as per the Punjabi calendar to the full moon of Sawan (about 13 days). Teej involves women getting together and performing Gidda, and married women visiting their families and receiving gifts.
The Chandigarh Administration is known for making special arrangements for the celebration of Hariyali Teej in the Rock Garden of the city. School children perform dramas, dance, and other cultural activities on this day. The female members in a family, especially daughters, are presented with gifts and dresses.
Haryali Teej is also one of the most popular festivals of Haryana and is in fact celebrated as an official holiday. Government of Haryana organises many functions in order to celebrate this day, that welcomes the monsoon/ rainy season.
