'Teej', the third day of the waxing moon
'Hariyali Teej' because the greenery is a boon
Mother nature's way to replenish all life
The festival celebrated by worshipping 'Shiva' and his wife.
For dichotomy is the way, for Union they Sway
Shiva and Shakti
The Ida and the Pingala
The Yin and the Yang
Festival and Food go hand in hand
'Malpua' produced from the kitchen stand
'Coz only when the taste buds are satiated
Does the day receive its full credit
Women ensemble in the 'solah sringar'
Shining bright like a Goddess, a star
And Mother Earth glows with each shower
Ripe in its full glory, all set to start a new story!
