Budhi Teej
This festival is celebrated on Bhadon Vadi Teej, this day one should worship cow, and feed them (७ आटे की लोई बनाकर उन पर गुड़, घी, रखकर गायों को खिला दी जाएं). After worshiping and feeding cow one should eat something, touch the feet of elders for their blessings. As it is called Budhi (elder, बूढी), all the elder women (like mother, mother-in-law) should be specially treated — if one doesn’t have elder women at home, then one can donate some money to old-age homes.
Kajri Teej
It is also called Kajli. It is also celebrated on Bhadon Vadi Teej in the region of Benaras. For its celebration women usually go for boating, नाव में बैठ कर नौका विहार करती हैं, गीत गाती हैं, तथा खाने के व्यंजन एक दूसरे के साथ बाँटकर खाती हैं।
All kinds of Teej, in fact is just related to women. Men in India, don’t have any festival just dedicated to them — without a woman there is no festival, ‘coz they are the ones who do all the preparation.
