Day Of Teej Festival Poem by Medha Upreti

Day Of Teej Festival



Red sarees
green beads
a sea of people
outside Mahadev Temple

Women sing
some dance
smiling face
all around

Bel patra
pint of milk
ghee and offerings
in poojaa thaalee

All day worship
at Lord Shiva Temple
Bhadra Shukla Tritiya
day of Teej festival
